About The Shot
The Bahamas / 2025
There’s nothing quite like swimming in the crystal-clear water of Exuma. A big reason it’s so clear is our limestone rock and white carbonate sand, which naturally filter the water and reflect sunlight, giving it that bright turquoise glow. With very little river runoff and steady tidal flow moving through the banks, the water stays clean and incredibly transparent. Add in the warm Bahamian sun heating the shallow sandbars, and it feels like stepping into a natural swimming pool. It’s calm, it’s warm, and it’s exactly why people travel from all over the world just to float in that blue.
