Johnny Cay
Johnny Cay / Islote Sucre
A small coconut-palm island 1.5 km off the northern tip, with white sand, reggae bars and fried fish. It is the classic island-hopping destination on San Andrés.
Johnny Cay is a small coral island under national park protection. Coconut palms ring its white sand, and vendors sell reggae music, fried fish and coconut rice. The boat trip from Spratt Bight Beach pier takes about 15 minutes. The island is often combined with the aquarium into a one-day island-hopping tour, and a separate protected-area entrance fee applies. The north side has big waves and undercurrents, so swimming is allowed only in the designated area on the south side. You must leave the island by 17:00.
