Creator's Key Takeaways

Instead of giant water parks, towering water slides, and amusement style attractions, Ocean Cay focuses on beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, relaxation, and connecting guests with nature.

Walking along the beach at night with the lighthouse glowing in the distance is honestly one of the highlights of visiting Ocean Cay.

If you appreciate beautiful beaches and a slower, more authentic island experience, I think you'll really enjoy what Ocean Cay has to offer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a pair of water shoes for rocky sections.
Use reef-safe sunscreen.
Bring your own snorkeling equipment to save money.
Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated.
Get off the ship early to secure lounge chairs close to the water.
Explore beyond the first beach you see to find quieter spots.
