THE real Exuma is a do-it-yourself place, best discovered with sand between your toes. On its unspoiled beaches, the only footprints are probably your own, and the clear Atlantic waters that feed them dance before you like a kaleidoscope of jades, purples and blues. It is also a place where street addresses are nonexistent and where you will have to slow down in spite of yourself: there is regular time, and there is Bahamian time, and the more you try to hurry, the longer it will take you to get there.

1) Into the Drink
If you're staying at the Club Peace and Plenty hotel in George Town (800-525-2210), attend the manager's Friday-night reception; if you're not staying there, crash it. Crashing is O.K.; you just should forgo the complimentary rum punch and pay for your own drinks, served up with plenty of gusto by Lermon Rolle (poolside) and Glen Munroe (in the former slave quarters that are the main bar). There are two reasons you want to be there. One is the allure of tropical libations with names like Reef Wrecker and Goombay Smash (both $6.50; Bahamian and U.S. currencies are an even exchange). The other is to meet Chad Florence, a Michigan artist who spends half the year in Exuma, and to see his paintings, which send you right into the middle of island life.
