Staniel Cay village stores and propane

24° 10.3′ N · 76° 26.5′ W

Three small village stores that are the only real provisioning between Highbourne Cay and Black Point. Isles General is the largest and carries the area's only propane.

Practical

Blue Store (Burke's) 242-355-2014; Pink Store 242-355-2040; Isles General 242-355-2007. Typical hours Mon-Sat 08:00-18:30 summer, 08:00-17:00 winter; Sundays only 08:00-10:00. Stock is entirely mailboat-dependent: M/V Captain C roughly 3 times a month, commonly Wednesday, genuinely variable. CASH ONLY at the village stores. Isles General has its own dinghy dock, sells ice, and is the nearest propane source for the whole central Exumas — call first, availability is intermittent. Large or special orders must be placed well in advance to ride the mailboat. The ATM at the Flyin' Pig Cafe is unreliable — do not depend on it.
