Marina Cay

A tiny island off Beef Island with reef snorkeling and a hilltop sunset bar. Famous for a book by writer Robb White.

Marina Cay is a small island of about 3 hectares lying north of Beef Island. It is ringed by coral reef, making the shallow reef convenient for snorkeling. In the 1930s, American writer Robb White and his wife lived in seclusion here and wrote Our Island, which was later adapted into a film. The island has a dock, a dining bar and a hilltop sunset viewpoint. After the hurricanes it was rebuilt, so check whether it is open before you visit. Free or low-cost ferries run from Trellis Bay on Beef Island and take about 10 minutes.
