Scilly Cay
If you’re in the fishing village of Island
Harbour, a water taxi operator can whisk you
away to the tiny island of Scilly Cay located
just a few minutes away from the mainland.
A simply beautiful island with its restaurant
bearing the same name, swim and snorkel
on the island then relax with one of their
legendary lobster, crayfish or fish meals. Enjoy
the infectious Caribbean music while sipping
on a potent rum punch.
