Stewart Manor is a quiet coastal settlement located on the western shore of Great Exuma in the Bahamas. The village is renowned for its wide-open, untouched beaches and the calm, shallow turquoise waters of the Exuma Sound. Its name dates back to the late 18th-century Loyalist era, when British settlers were granted land to establish cotton plantations following the American Revolutionary War. Ruins of old estates can still be found in the vicinity of Stewart Manor, serving as reminders of this historical period. The settlement has a more secluded and less developed alternative to the capital, George Town, making it a handy destination for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility. The local economy is largely centered on fishing, with residents maintaining a close-knit community atmosphere. Some exclusive private villas are scattered along the coastline, benefiting from the area's privacy and natural splendor. Stewart Manor provides a genuine Out Island experience, where the connection to the sea and the island's history remains strong.
