The Cut / Lazy River Beach

The Cut (Lazy River) Beach is a hidden gem located in Exuma. It is known for its unique natural feature, a lazy river that flows with the tide going in and out. At low tide, an inshore sandbar is completely exposed, and at high tide, the water is only a foot or two deep. This makes it a great place for floating and relaxation. The beach can be accessed in several ways. One option is by boat, which allows visitors to explore the surrounding areas, including the Atlantic coastline. Another option is by land, by driving across the bridge to Little Exuma and following the road until reaching a sign for The Cut. However, it should be noted that some parts of the road lead to private properties. For those seeking a more adventurous route, kayaking from Moriah Harbor is also possible. This route offers the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife, including turtles. Additionally, the beach is bordered to the north by Mariah Harbor key, a Bahamas national park, providing another point of access. Despite its beauty and accessibility, The beach is often uncrowded, offering a tranquil and serene environment for visitors. It is truly an amazing place that is definitely worth the visit.
