Celebrity Spotting in Great Exuma, Bahamas
by: Fred Coolridge
What's a guy to do?
It seems that playing a pirate in the Caribbean just wasn’t enough
for Johnny Depp. He had to go and buy a whole island in the Caribbean!
And rumor has it that when he informed his wife Vanessa Paradis that
he had bought her an island in the Exumas, Bahamas,
her response was: What do we need an island for? Poor Johnny!
I guess nobody really needs to own an island but if you were Johnny
Depp (or Justin Timberlake, another celebrity recently spotted in the
Exumas) and you could afford a small piece of paradise on earth, then
there is no better place in the world to start looking than the Exumas.
Johnny Depp and Justin Timberlake aren’t the only celebrities
who seem to think so. Other celebrities who have recently been spotted
island hopping or island hunting in the Exumas include: Demi Moore,
Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler, Bill Gates and Madonna.
Why Exuma, Bahamas?
The Exumas are a string of islands stretching through the Southern
Bahamas. Great Exuma is the largest of these islands and its greatest
appeal is its relative lack of tourists and commercialization. This
factor makes the island attractive to many celebrities who live a major
part of their lives in the spotlight. The island also offers some of
the best sailing in the world, great fishing, spectacular beaches, luxury
hotels, gourmet dining and friendly, down to earth locals. Many magnificent
coral reefs are located in this part of the world making snorkeling
and scuba diving an incredible experience as well.
If you are a keen star gazer, you might want to set your sights on
a trip to the Exumas because even if you don’t spot any celebrities,
you’re highly unlikely to return home from this amazing tropical
paradise disappointed.
