Pink Paradise
Big Major Kay, Bahamas
If you’re an animal lover seeking a sunny experience, Big Major Kay is the place for you, where you can expect dozens of adorable wild pigs joining you on your adventures.
The Bahamas is a favourite travel spot amongst many, and with great reason. It’s clear skies and reputation for having a luxurious atmosphere is enough to want anybody to pay the place a visit. Just picture the added bonus of having dozens of wild piglets swimming around you. Animal lovers are sure to enjoy a specific part of the beautiful Islands - the Pig Beach of Big Major Kay.
The island, also known simply as Pig Island, is a usually uninhabited cay known for being populated by a group of wild pigs. Although there are many theories about how the adorable animals came to inhabit the island as they aren’t native to the area, none have been officially approved and are instead now fed by loving tourists visiting the beach.
You can have great fun in the sun with adorable and friendly pigs, who just love attention from the public. They are free to live on the sandy beaches where they love basking in the hot sun and cooling off in the water. Swimming with fish and other cool sea life is great, but why not try taking a dip with these lovable creatures?
The pigs themselves are always in their element, welcoming tourists to their own private island. It’s perfectly sheltered by the other surrounding islands from the tropic storms that sometimes shake up the Bahamas, as well as having a natural water spring to keep them going. There is absolutely nothing cruel involved in the trip, nor will it harm the animals - they live happily in Big Major Kay and seem to love the beach life as much as us humans do.
If animals aren’t really your thing, but you love the sound of the Bahamas, a vast selection of aquatic activities are also on offer. Favourites include snorkelling with tropical fish and sea turtles to shark and eel spotting, so your adrenaline rush is never too far away.
Visitors can book visits to the adorable pig beach through the many excursion vendors available on the islands, and can usually be done through the hotel or resort you’re staying in. Although the Bahamas is made up of over 700 island, pig beach is only a short ferry ride away for many.
Many hotels already offer packages and discounts for day trips to the beach, but more information can be found at each individual resort, or head to Big Major Kay’s official website for more details about the trip.
