The wind usually comes out of East which is the perfect condition. Sometimes it is 25 kts, sometimes it is 10. Depending on cold fronts and other weather systems around. Most of the time, the weather is sunny and windy. On occasion we get some periods of calm days. I would recommend that the best time is in winter, October to February. But the summer permits a good 10-18 kts mostly ever day.

Get directions from


Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. From George Town take a water taxi over to Stocking Island. But expect to pay around 10 USD for the transfer (round trip). They will bring you to the harbour side of Stocking Island, right at a small channel. From here you need to walk up the dunes and down again to the beach. The walk is about 100m. Be careful, it is a small path and you can fall easily. Makes sure to have a pick up arranged to take you back to George Town.
