Pig Island: The Bahamas' Best Kept Secret
Everyone's heard of swimming with dolphins, but what about swimming with pigs? Located in the Exuma district of the Bahamas, Pig Beach or Pig Island is one of the most unique tourist destinations in the world. This island is home to about 20 wild pigs who love to play and interact with their human visitors. The island itself is remote and very well cared for, a beautiful place to experience a unique side of the Bahamas.
01 How Did the Pigs Get There?
The truth is, no one really knows where the pigs came from but there are a lot of theories out there. One story is that a nearby settlement didn't like the smell of their pigs so they moved them their own island. Other people believe that the pigs were survivors of a shipwreck and swam ashore. Whatever the reason, today there are about 20 pigs there that make the island their home.
