Bell Island, Exumas, Bahamas

Bell Island and Cambridge Cay are in the Exuma Land and Sea Park and offer protected anchorages from the west wind when a cold front approaches. Bell Island is a private island and Cambridge Cay has mooring balls off the sandy beach. The coral gardens are great for snorkeling.
