Coco Plum Beach.

Tucked away in Steventon on the northern end of Great Exuma, Coco Plum Beach is defined by its vast, shifting sandbars and knee-deep turquoise shallows. It is a place governed by the tides; when the water retreats, the seafloor reveals an abundance of oversized starfish and sand dollars, allowing visitors to walk hundreds of yards out into the ocean. The landscape is famously punctuated by a set of wooden swings anchored in the sea, offering a quintessential Caribbean backdrop without the crowds of more accessible shores. Because the approach involves a notoriously bumpy, potholed road and there are virtually no public facilities, the beach remains largely secluded. It’s an ideal spot for those willing to pack their own supplies in exchange for a quiet day of wading through crystal-clear flats.
