Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Chris Cardona provides a comprehensive tour of the MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve, located twenty miles south of Bimini, Bahamas. He explains the island's history as a former aragonite sand mining site that was transformed into a private destination through significant environmental cleanup and reforestation efforts. The tour covers various guest amenities, including the exclusive Yacht Club perks such as butler assistance, express elevators, and private beach access at Ocean House. Cardona explores several beach areas, highlighting the family friendly Seekers Beach and the scenic Sunset Beach. He details available activities like wave running, parasailing, and kayaking, as well as dining options ranging from the Seekers food court to the more upscale Ocean House restaurant.
