Swimming with the Famous Pigs of the Bahamas
One of the most unique experiences in the Caribbean can be found at Pig Beach in the Exumas, Bahamas. These friendly swimming pigs have become a world-famous attraction, drawing visitors from around the globe.
The Legend of the Swimming Pigs
The story goes that these pigs were originally left on Big Major Cay by sailors who intended to return and cook them. The sailors never returned, and the pigs survived on food dumped by passing boats. Today, they are one of the most popular attractions in the Bahamas.
Best Time to Visit
Early morning visits offer the best experience when the pigs are most active and hungry. The water is typically calmer in the morning, making it perfect for swimming and photography.
