Coco Plums (Great Exuma)

Coco Plums (Great Exuma) is a shallow, flat-and-chop kitesurfing spot with crystal-clear water and an extensive sandy riding area shaped by sandbars. It’s commonly described as one of the most beginner-friendly places to progress on Great Exuma, with gentle, progression-oriented conditions and typically light crowding. Wind is dominated by trade winds, with the best directions generally reported as NE, ENE, and E. Typical conditions are in the ~15 to 25 knots range, and the spot is often noted for steady wind rather than highly variable gusts. The best months overlap across providers and include January through April, plus September through December. The beach setup is easy to access by car, with parking close to the shoreline. However, the launch/play area and available water depth are strongly tide-dependent: the spot is often best around mid-tide, while low tide can be too shallow for some maneuvers and high tide can reduce the beach launching area. For safety, riders should treat this as a shallow-water environment: conch shells on the bottom can be sharp, sun exposure is a concern, and power lines downwind of the launch area are a specific hazard to plan around. The beach is privately operated, has visitor restrictions (including closure on Tuesdays), and lifeguard presence is not reported; rescue availability is described as limited.
