The latest Caribbean Moment heads to the spectacular little island of Staniel Cay at the northern tip of the Exuma chain.

It’s usually one of the first or final stops (thanks to its international airport) on a journey across the remarkable islands of Exuma, but tiny Staniel is full of wonders on its own.

That includes Pirate Beach, set at the northernmost point of the island, a rather lovely stretch of beach with sparkling turquoise water, calm waves and nary a person in sight.

Take half a minute out of your day and make the trip to Pirate Beach with our latest Caribbean Moment.
