Things To Do
Chat 'N' Chill Beach Bar & Grill
Chat ‘N’ Chill® is located on Stocking Island in the Exumas. There are no roads or bridges to get you here. You’ll have to take a boat or seaplane. A 5-minute boat ride from George Town’s Elizabeth Harbour takes you to the perfect place to spend a day relaxing by the beach, exploring the natural beauty of our island or simply to enjoy a great meal. From George Town, the most popular ways to get here are: Take the water taxi from the government dock. A1, Martin’s and Elvis are the most consistent and reliable daily water taxi services and we highly recommend that you catch a ride with one of them! Rent a boat from Minn’s Water Sports in George Town. Minn’s rents easy-to-pilot skiffs, and we’re less than a mile away, just a short ride across the harbor. You can do it, we believe in you!! Call Minn’s at 242-336-3483.

Thunderball Grotto Underwater Cave System
This underwater cave system is a haven for snorkeling and diving because it is teeming with exotic coral and fish. The grotto got its name from the 1965 James Bond film “Thunderball” that was shot there.
