Camping and tides in the Bahamas
Shallow, clear banks and chains of cays from the Abacos to the Exumas, with a tide of about a metre: it decides when you can cross the flats and where the current runs through the cuts between cays. Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is a no-take marine reserve with its own rules and fees, and many cays are private. All the Bahamas regions.
