Forbes Hill Beach is a beautiful beach located on Little Exuma Island.

This beach has two beaches divided by a big rocky area that has great snorkeling.

The water is crystal clear and the sand is really soft.

We took the Queen's Highway from Great Exuma and crossed the 1-lane bridge to Little Exuma Island. You'll come to a dirt road where you turn left and follow this 1-land dirt road to the small unpaved parking lot.

After parking, we walked out onto the beach. Forbes Hill Beach is unique as it has two beaches in one. What I mean by that is that you have a beach on the left side of a large rock formation and a beach on the right side of the big rock formation. 

We explored the beach on the left side first. This is what it looks like.

After exploring the beach, we decided to get into the water and do some snorkeling around the big rock formation

After snorkeling, we got out and took the trail over to the other beach on the other side of the rock formation.
