Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park

The national park encompasses 176 square miles of marine territory with coral reefs, mangroves, blue holes, and sandy beaches along multiple islands.

Established in 1958, this protected zone became the first marine reserve in the Caribbean region to implement complete fishing restrictions across its waters.

The park maintains scientific research stations where specialists monitor sea turtles, Nassau groupers, and endangered Bahamian iguanas in their natural environment.

Visitors need permits for activities such as filming, research, or boat anchoring, which can be obtained through the Bahamas National Trust office.

The park houses populations of hutia, small native mammals that inhabit specific islands within the protected boundaries.
