Turtles!
Located a short walk or Kayak from Kestrel (look to your right), this long, sandy beach is famous for its swimming turtles. The properties along the beach are private but you are allowed to walk along the beachfront. Access from the road is marked near the top end of the beach as "Beach Access" (you will walk along a concrete wall next to a private residence). The turtles are located down by the jetties (piers). Please do not feed them.

Restaurants
Located in February Point this is a little more upscale. On buggy nights they drop the screens so you can still enjoy the outdoor feel. It's a bit more expensive than other places but generally the service is good. It sits poolside and can also be a great place to stop if you are on your way home from Little Exuma and ready for some food.
