Meeks Patch Swimming Pigs

North Eleuthera's answer to the Exuma pigs — a colony of swimming pigs on the west beach of Meeks Patch, visited by tour boats from Spanish Wells.
Practical
Coordinate approx: placed on the west beach toward the south end, between the two Waterway Guide Meeks Patch anchorage positions, as described in reviews. Run as a concession with facilities ashore; one 2025 reviewer paid $10 (verify locally). Go early or late to avoid the tour-boat rush; keep food in the dinghy and watch children around the animals.
