Black Point is the largest and arguably most animated settlement in the northern Exuma Cays. The community is widely celebrated for its robust cultural identity and master craftsmanship, particularly in the traditional art of straw weaving for baskets and hats. Positioned along a vast, shallow bay, the settlement provides one of the most reliable anchorages for sailors, making it a favorite social hub for the international yachting community. Historically settled by freed Africans, the town's heritage remains evident in the warm hospitality and enduring customs of its people. The colorful village has a range of local amenities, from authentic Bahamian eateries to unique handmade souvenirs. Black Point is also famous for its annual sailing regattas, which serve to unify the community and celebrate maritime heritage.
