Shroud Cay

A mangrove island in the northern part of the land-and-sea park, where you can take a small boat through a creek to a deserted beach on the island's other side.

Shroud Cay lies in the northern part of the park. Its interior is crisscrossed by tidal creeks lined with mangroves. At high tide, you can travel by small boat, kayak, or paddleboard along the clear creeks to the white-sand beach on the Atlantic side to the east. Along the way you may spot baby sharks, sea turtles, and stingrays. A hill called the Driftwood Camp near the end of the creek offers views of the coastline. Only unpowered or slow-moving craft are permitted, to protect the mangroves, and trips must be timed around the tides.
