What it's like
Ocean Cay is a small island in the Bahamas with sandy beaches and shallow water along its shore. Its snorkeling is simple: the water off the beaches is shallow, so you can wade out and look around without going far from the sand.
Each beach has at least one lifeguard on duty while it is open, which helps when you are new to the water. The shallows off the beaches are where to spend time in the water here.
Good to know
- Each beach on Ocean Cay has at least one lifeguard on duty when the beach is open.
- The island has no named reef or site for snorkeling, so the shallows off the beach are the place to start.
