Dropped Your Ring in Exuma?
Coco Plum Beach, Stocking Island, and the Exuma Cays — Out Island Recovery
Exuma is a destination unto itself—a long, thin chain of islands in the Out Islands (Family Islands), famed for spectacular turquoise water, pristine white-sand beaches, and a distinctly upscale clientele. George Town, the capital, sits on Great Exuma and serves as the hub for the Exuma Cays. Coco Plum Beach is a crescent of perfect white sand on the east coast with calm, transparent water. Beyond the beach, Exuma is known for its unique attractions: the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay (where tourists remove jewellery to dive in), private yachts anchored in scenic Emerald Bay, the Out Islands Regatta (a major sailing event), and exclusive resorts. This is not a cruise ship destination—it's a sailing, luxury, and adventure tourism zone where visitors often remove jewellery for activities and subsequently lose track of it.
Across the Whole of George Town and Exuma
Exuma is remote compared to Nassau—there is no through traffic, no cruise terminal, and no high-volume tourism. However, this remoteness is exactly what makes ring losses serious. A ring lost in Exuma isn't "probably still there"—it depends entirely on where it was lost and how quickly you search. We maintain a dedicated Exuma response team and can reach George Town and Coco Plum Beach within a few hours of your call. For yacht and water-based losses, we can dispatch a boat-based response for offshore losses.
We serve all areas of George Town and Exuma, including:
- Coco Plum Beach main strand
- Regatta Park and sailing event areas
- George Town waterfront and harbour
- Stocking Island (ferry accessible)
- Swimming pig beach and Big Major Cay
- Emerald Bay yacht anchorages
- Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park areas
- Chat n Chill Beach Bar and sandbar zones
- Private resort beaches and villas
- Shallow Exuma Sound water (7–15 meters)
- Diving sites and snorkeling areas
- Boat and marina losses
Common Search Locations at George Town
Coco Plum Beach and Resort Properties
Coco Plum Beach is lined with vacation villas and small resorts. Rings are lost on the beach during swimming, relaxation, and water activities. The beach sees fewer people than Nassau beaches, which actually helps—items settle quickly and don't get buried under thousands of footprints.
Swimming Pig Excursions and Big Major Cay
The swimming pigs excursion is famous—tourists boat to Big Major Cay, remove jewellery, and swim with the pigs. Items are lost in the boat, on the beach, during gear-up, or in the water around Big Major Cay. This is a predictable loss zone for us.
Emerald Bay and Yacht Anchorages
Emerald Bay is a stunning natural anchorage surrounded by low-rise villas. Wealthy visitors anchor private yachts here, and items are lost during boarding, tender operations, or swimming from boats. We can respond to yacht losses with boat-based detection.
Stocking Island and Chat n Chill
Stocking Island is accessible only by water taxi from George Town. Chat n Chill Beach Bar is the focal point—a sandbar gathering spot for yachties, day-trippers, and locals. Rings are lost during volleyball, swimming, socialising, and eating. Items on Stocking Island tend to remain undisturbed because foot traffic is lower than on main beaches.
Regatta Park and Event Areas
The Out Islands Regatta (January/February) draws sailing teams and spectators. The area around Regatta Park sees rings lost during festivities, sailing-related activities, and celebrations.
Villa Rental and Private Property Losses
Many Exuma visitors rent private villas rather than resorts. Items are lost on private beaches, around gardens and terraces, and in villa grounds. We can coordinate access to private properties with villa management.

Understanding Exuma's Search Conditions
Pristine Water and Low Disturbance
Exuma's waters are pristine and relatively undisturbed compared to busy Nassau areas. Items don't drift as far, and foot traffic doesn't bury things as quickly. This is our advantage—early searches almost always succeed because conditions change slowly.
Fine White Sand and Powdery Texture
Exuma sand is exceptionally fine and powdery. Items sink in dry sand but settle in defined pockets in wet sand. Our metal detecting equipment works excellently in this environment.
Tidal Patterns and Emerald Bay Currents
Exuma Sound has stronger tidal influence than enclosed Nassau Harbour. High tide carries water through anchorages and can move items significantly. We time searches to take advantage of tidal cycles.
Shallow Exuma Sound Water (7–15 meters)
Exuma Sound is deeper than Nassau Harbour but shallower than the open Atlantic. Underwater losses are very recoverable. Items don't drift far in the sound's relatively calm water.
Lower Foot Traffic and Less Maintenance
Exuma beaches see a fraction of the traffic that Nassau beaches do. Maintenance is minimal. This means items remain more stationary and undisturbed. Our response advantage is significant.
Yacht and Boat-Related Loss Patterns
Items lost from yachts or boats behave differently than items lost on land. We understand drift patterns in Emerald Bay and can search boat areas with specialized underwater detection.
Remote Location and Time to Mainland
Exuma is 80+ km from Nassau. Our local Exuma response team is critical because mainland detection teams would take 3+ hours to arrive. Being local gives us a decisive speed advantage.

FAQs – George Town, Exuma
Can you search for rings lost during the swimming pig excursion?
Yes, absolutely. We've recovered many rings from swimming pig trips. Call with details of your trip timing and the boat operator, and we can search the boat, boarding area, beach, and water around Big Major Cay. Most swimming pig losses are recovered within the first search.
What if my ring was lost on a private yacht in Emerald Bay?
We can respond to yacht losses in Emerald Bay. Call with your yacht's location and description, and we'll coordinate a boat-based search. We have underwater detection equipment and can search the deck, tender area, and surrounding water. Access is arranged discreetly with the boat owner.
Can you search Stocking Island and Chat n Chill?
Yes. We have water-based access to Stocking Island and maintain relationships with Chat n Chill operators. We can reach the island within 2 hours of your call and search beach and sandbar areas. Items at Chat n Chill are often undisturbed because foot traffic is minimal.
How much does your service cost?
Costs depend on the circumstances of the search — terrain, access, and the conditions involved all play a part. When you call or message us, we'll walk through everything and confirm pricing before we travel. Card payment only.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card payments only — credit or debit (Visa, Mastercard).
Do you offer a guarantee if you don't find my ring?
We're clear about this upfront. Call or message us and we'll explain the cost structure for both outcomes before any work is committed.
Can you search private villa properties and private beaches?
Yes. We can arrange access to private villa properties and coordinate searches of private beaches with villa management or owners. Exuma is a destination for high-end private rentals, and we respect privacy while delivering results.
What if my ring was lost during diving or snorkeling in Exuma?
Exuma has excellent diving and snorkeling. If you lost your ring during water activity, call us with the location and details. We can search the site, coordinate with dive operators if applicable, and use underwater detection for items in 5–20 meter depths.
Can you respond to losses on other Exuma Cays besides George Town?
Our primary coverage is George Town and Coco Plum Beach. For more remote Cays (beyond George Town), response time is longer and may require water-based dispatch. Call and let us know the specific location—we'll advise on feasibility and timeline.
Is the search area disturbed by tidal movement?
Yes. Exuma Sound experiences significant tidal movement. High tide can shift items in shallow water areas. We factor tidal timing into our search strategy and will time your search to take advantage of optimal tidal conditions.
