8.Pig Beach, Exumas
Visit Big Major Cay for an unexpected sighting of boarish friends waddling along the shores. Also known as “Pig Beach,” this island in the Exumas has risen to fame thanks to its hungry inhabitants. The only way to get to Big Major Cay is by boat, so plan to either charter one or board a guided tour. As you idle in, you’ll pass several swimming pigs, and as they get closer, you’ll find they’re not shy towards humans. You’ll want to pack pitted fruits and vegetables as treats for their affection. If an animal encounter is high on your travel bucket list, find out how you can swim with pigs, nurse sharks and more on your next beach vacation.
