'Celebrity Spotting in Great Exuma'

Celebrity Spotting in Great Exuma

Fred Coolridge () -

What’s a guy to do?It seems that playing a pirate in the Caribbean just wasn’t enough for Johnny Depp. He had to go and buy a whole island in the Caribbean! And rumor has it that when he informed his wife Vanessa Paradis that he had bought her an island in the Exumas, Bahamas, her response was: What do we need an island for? Poor Johnny!I guess nobody really needs to own an island but if you were Johnny Depp (or Justin Timberlake, another celebrity recently spotted in the Exumas) and you could afford a small piece of paradise on earth, then there is no better place in the world to start looking than the Exumas. Johnny Depp and Justin Timberlake aren’t the only celebrities who seem to think so. Other celebrities who have recently been spotted island hopping or island hunting in the Exumas include: Demi Moore, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler, Bill Gates and Madonna.Why Exuma?The Exumas are a string of islands stretching through the Southern Bahamas. Great Exuma is the largest of these islands and its greatest appeal is its relative lack of tourists and commercialization. This factor makes the island attractive to many celebrities who live a major part of their lives in the spotlight. The island also offers some of the best sailing in the world, great fishing, spectacular beaches, luxury hotels, gourmet dining and friendly, down to earth locals. Many magnificent coral reefs are located in this part of the world making snorkeling and scuba diving an incredible experience as well.If you are a keen star gazer, you might want to set your sights on a trip to the Exumas because even if you don’t spot any celebrities, you’re highly unlikely to return home from this amazing tropical paradise disappointed.About the Author

I can understand a star wanting some privacy but buying an entire island? I couldn't imagine it. I guess if you have the money you can buy anthing you want. I had never heard of Exuma before until now. I might have to look into it.

Comment #2 Surfer Chick from Riding the waves -

If I had the money, I'd buy a Caribbean island. But being that far from civilization and people would get old fast. Than again I could afford to bring everyone I love with me.

Comment #3 Candy from Isle of the Black Egg -

I guess they don't know where to spend their money. I just wish I have the same problem!

If I were that rich, I'd probably buy an Island too. I won't live there, it will be my vacation house (or island).

Comment #4 Callie from someplace else -

Can you imagine having so much money that the response your wife gives you is " why do we need an island for?" Geez, must me nice to have your own private secluded Island.

Comment #5 Candy from Isle of the Black Egg -

Yeah, you're right Callie. I think it's really really really nice to own an island. But I'm not really jealous.

I bet Britney can buy her own island too!

Comment #6 raven from somewhere -

I don't know if I would spend the money on an entire island. If you buy it and only visit it seasonally how do you know if someone else doesn't live there while you are away? LOL
