Regatta Point (click image for detail) |
Let Regatta Point be your home-base for bonefishing, deep sea fishing or just relaxing. We can help arrange bonefishing with the island's best guide (in our opinion!) or set out on your own to some of the best fishing in the Bahamas. We are close to the ferry that goes to Stocking Island where miles of beautiful, white powdery sand await the beachgoer, snorkeler or shell collector. Or you can explore the isand's many keys on your own either by car or by boat. We have two Boston Whalers for rent and you can tie it up just steps from your suite on our own small beach.
Location: Regatta Point is located at the end of a causeway and but a short 5 minute walk from George Town on the main island of Exuma in the Bahamas.
Inclusions: Each suite has a fully equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator, stove, toaster oven, microwave, blender, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes and stainless... and we have a barbecue grill on site to grill up your own catch or a steak from the well stocked grocery store just minutes away. We also provide daily housekeeping service, protected rental boat tie-up, free beach towels, and plenty of books and magazines for the times you aren't off fishing.
Accomodations: Regatta Point has two buildings with a courtyard between them and gorgeous gardens and views all around. In the building with the white roofs, we have two suites - A & C. In the building nestled in the palms are four suites - #1, #2, #3 and #4. All are one bedroom suites with two twins that make up into a king or just a king bed, except suite #1 which is one large open suite with 2 queen beds or our only two bedroom suite, suite #2, which has a king in the private bedroom and 2 double beds in a large open suite area. Our 2 bedroom suite #2 also has 1 & 1/2 baths. Current rates are available online at www.regattapointbahamas.com by going to our Rooms & Rates page.

Nearby activities and attractions: Our location is ideal...we are only a 5 minute walk from George Town and all the shops, restaurants, grocery stores, liquor stores and car & boat rental agencies. But we are also in a very private location at the end of a short causeway and with water and views that cover every direction. To the east is Stocking Island, north is the shoreline of Exuma, west is the picturesque village of George Town and looking toward the south is Crab Cay and the marina in George Town. You can rent a car and explore the island and it's many beaches, take the ferry over to Stocking Island and the beaches on the Atlantic side and the Elizabeth Harbour side, or rent a boat and chart your own course for fun. There is, of course, fishing... or you can scuba dive, snorkel, swim, sunbathe, shell, or enjoy the water most any way you wish. On island there are trails to hike, historic ruins to explore or vist a nearby village to watch Bahamian boat building in progress. At night many of the restaurant bars feature island music or entertainment. And if you are there in April, you may be visiting when the Exuma Out Island Regatta is being held.
