20 Best Beaches in the Caribbean and The Bahamas

"On uninhabited Big Major Cay in the Exumas, a colony of pigs (and adorable piglets!) takes center stage and has made the sand a tourist attraction for swimmers and photographers; you can't stay overnight, but many nearby islands offer excursions, with Staniel Cay the closest inhabited base for trips." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Where To Watch Sports Outside In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"It’s never fun to stand in line. Pig Beach understands that, and tries to make it as enjoyable as possible. Not only can you look forward to brisket, fried chicken sandwiches, and frozen cocktails once you get to the front of it, but TVs above the bar mean you can watch sports while you wait." - matt tervooren

Pig Beach is an absolutely stunning and unique destination—truly one of a kind! The crystal-clear turquoise waters and soft white sand make it a beautiful spot to relax and take in the natural beauty of the Bahamas. But what really sets this beach apart is the unforgettable experience of interacting with the friendly pigs that live there. Feeding the pigs is such a fun activity. They swim right up to the boat, eager for a snack, and it’s a joy to watch them paddle around and interact with visitors. It’s a completely different kind of wildlife experience.

Pig Beach is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience—watching pigs swim around is surprisingly entertaining and something you don’t see every day!

This was so much fun and my daughter's favorite part of the trip. The pigs come right up to you. This was a great excursion to take. You get to swim and feed the pigs for about an hour and then hangout and party on a private island for a few hours.

Great place! Lots of fun with the pigs and the take carers actually look after them. Feed them only from the boat, in ground they will run after you. You will find some big ones and if you’re lucky also some babies.

Memorable. Don’t need to feed them but they are a strong and cute family.

We had an amazing time at Pig Beach. We were on a cruise with Norwegian and they brought us over to an island for the day. We spent the day relaxing, swimming, Paddle boarding, and eating the absolute BEST FOOD we have ever had. We don't even know what it was! They scheduled us in the later boat over to the Big Beach and we had a great time. They went over the rules so we would be safe, handed out chicken hotdogs for feeding the pigs, and we were off! 10/10 experience.

Was a great experience. A little expensive but we considered it a bucket list experience. If you wanna hold a piglet it was an extra 5$.

Please help the pigs on “little pig island” across from Elvis’s restaurant. If you place animals in a foreign location that forces them to rely on people to bring them food and water everyday, you should at least ensure they’re being provided adequate means of survival and also shade from the sun! It was really tragic to witness the conditions the pigs are living in with no shade causing their skin to become sunburned and peeling off. In a normal environment they would roll in mud to protect their skin. The piglets looked very unhealthy and starving. I understand they bring tourism and revenue, but it’s your responsibility to take proper care of them. I tried contacting the Humane Society to see if they had recommendations and if I could pay for a vet to go out, but unfortunately there isn’t one on the island and they only come from Nassau every 1-2 weeks. I’m so worried the little black piglet is already dead😢
