Two rock islets in the middle of a tidal cut, each hiding a cave you swim into through a low entrance, inside, stalactites hang from the roof over clear water, with light coming through gaps above. Coral gardens on the outside of the rocks. The stalactites prove these caves were dry during the ice ages when Bahamian sea level was 100m+ lower, the whole bank was an island. They are inside the park's no-take zone, so the reef outside is dense with fish. Most Exuma charters pass within a mile and never stop. Anchorage: Take a Cambridge Cay park mooring and tender across to the rocks. Hazards: Enter at low slack only, the cut runs hard and the entrance is a low overhang. Take a torch.
