Twice per year – on 26th December and on 1st January – there is taking place Junkanoo, a huge parade in the city’s centre, whose members dance to the rhythm played out on drums and cow’s bells. The festival probably originates from dances conducted a few centuries ago by local slaves working on plantations. They have aforementioned days free, so they were celebrating by dancing, playing music, getting dressed up in colourful costumes.

Make sure to go to Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. This first in the world land-water park still has the opinion of one of the best ones. You can rent there canoe and go for a trip through coral reef, during which you can observe unique underwater life.
