Ocean Cay

Ocean Cay is an island in the Bahamas located in the district of Bimini. It is located 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Bimini proper. Ocean Cay is an artificial island which was built by dredging in the late 1960s by Dillingham Construction of Hawaii and was used to mine white oolitic aragonite sand for diverse industrial purposes. The cay has been redeveloped as a private island called Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve for MSC Cruises. History Ocean Cay is an island that was man-made and created originally for mining aragonite sand. The total size of the island is 42 hectares and the original owners also had dredged the area to allow for deep vessels to dock for the exportation of the sand. Restoration When Dillingham Construction abandoned the island, the cay fell into a state of decay. In 2015, the executive chairman of MSC Cruise line, Pierfrancesco Vago, signed a 100-year lease agreement with the Bahamian government to redevelop the island into a new resort for the cruise line. The cruise line planned to spend $200 million on the project. The restoration would involve removing all of the abandoned mining facilities and infrastructure. A three-part documentary film series entitled Building Paradise Island by director James Redgate documented the cleanup of the island, the conservation leading to marine reserve status, and the building of a new resort from the ground up. Beaches The island has eight beaches, including Lighthouse Bay, North Beach, South Beach, Bimini Beach, areas near the lagoon, and a beach reserved for employees. Each beach has at least one lifeguard on duty when the beach is open.

Ocean Cay

Ocean Cay o Cayo Ocean literalmente en español Cayo Océano es una isla de las Bahamas situada en el distrito de Bimini. Se encuentra a 32 kilómetros al sur de Bimini propiamente dicha. Ocean Cay es una isla artificial de 0,42 kilómetros cuadrados que fue construida mediante dragado a finales de la década de 1960 por Dillingham Construction de Hawai​ y se utilizó para extraer arena blanca de aragonito oolítico con diversos fines industriales.​ El cayo ha sido remodelado como isla privada llamada Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve para MSC Cruises.​ Historia Ocean Cay es una isla artificial creada originalmente para la extracción de arena de aragonito. El tamaño total de la isla es de 42 hectáreas y los propietarios originales también habían dragado la zona para permitir el atraque de buques de gran calado para la exportación de la arena.​ Cuando Dillingham Construction abandonó la isla, el cayo cayó en un estado de decadencia. En 2015, el presidente ejecutivo de la línea de cruceros MSC, Pierfrancesco Vago, firmó un contrato de arrendamiento de 100 años con el gobierno de Bahamas para reconstruir la isla y convertirla en un nuevo centro turístico para la línea de cruceros. La línea de cruceros tenía previsto gastar 200 millones de dólares en el proyecto.​ La restauración consistiría en retirar todas las instalaciones e infraestructuras mineras abandonadas. Una serie de documentales en tres partes titulada Building Paradise Island, del director James Redgate, documentó la limpieza de la isla, su conservación hasta convertirla en reserva marina y la construcción de un nuevo complejo turístico desde cero.​ Geografía La isla tiene ocho playas: Lighthouse Bay, North Beach, South Beach, Bimini Beach, zonas cercanas a la laguna y una playa reservada a los empleados. Cada playa tiene al menos un socorrista de servicio cuando la playa está abierta.​ Rodeado por unos 166 kilómetros cuadrados de zona marina protegida, con arrecifes de coral y una variada vida marina, incluidas unas 90 especies de peces diferentes. La isla disfruta de un clima cálido y tropical todo el año, con una estación lluviosa de mayo a octubre y una seca de noviembre a abril.

Cay Sal

Cay Sal (Spanish: Cayo de Sal) is a small island in the Cay Sal Bank between Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas. It is no longer inhabited. The Bahamas have an agreement with the U.S. Coast Guard to regularly fly over Cay Sal and other islands in the bank to look for people potentially stranded there. Geography Cay Sal is the main island in the southwestern zone of the Cay Sal Bank. It is 1.6 km (1.0 mi) in length and 1.22 km2 (0.47 sq mi) in area. Cay Sal is located approximately 30-32 miles (50-54 kilometers) north of the island nation of Cuba. Cay Sal is also located about 55 miles (88 kilometers) south of Florida. The island is covered with stunted palm trees and marked by several dilapidated buildings standing on its western side. In its interior there is a large salt pond commonly replenished by heavy wind-driven seas that broach the islet along its southwest side. History According to Spanish navigators the island had a few natural salt pans producing good, clean salt, and its leeward side provided an excellent anchorage as well. From the 1960s to late 1970s the Royal Bahamas Defence Force kept a small outpost on Cay Sal island, which also had an airstrip. Another island in the banks, Elbow Cays, has a lighthouse built in 1839 by the British. The United States Coast Guard constantly monitors Cay Sal and nearby islands for refugees from Cuba. Cay Sal is about thirty miles away from Cuba. Refugees rescued on the island have included pregnant women and children. Refugees are reported to have employed a variety of craft including small, ill-equipped boats, in spite of the possibility of pursuit by the Cuban military. In 2023, the Coast Guard rescued a man who had been stranded on the island for three days. See also Cay Sal Airport References External links Abandoned Cay Sal

Bonds Cay

Bonds Cay is a 650-acre (260 ha) private island located in the southern Berry Islands district of the Bahamas. The island is notable for its natural biodiversity, its proximity to deep-water marine environments, and its history of high-profile ownership, including a mid-2000s joint venture by musicians Shakira and Roger Waters to develop an eco-friendly artists' retreat. Geography Bonds Cay is approximately 4.25 miles (6.84 km) long and features over 13 miles (21 km) of coastline, containing multiple white-sand beaches, iron-shore coastlines, natural ponds, and dense tropical vegetation. The island is situated roughly 37 miles (60 km) northwest of Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, and 155 miles (249 km) southeast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It borders the Tongue of the Ocean, a deep underwater trench known for its diverse marine ecology. The waters surrounding Bonds Cay and the nearby Chub Cay are highly regarded for sport fishing, particularly for billfish such as blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish, and tuna. Flora and fauna Bonds Cay supports a unique terrestrial ecosystem. In 1921, naturalists discovered a distinct species of land snail belonging to the Cerionidae family that is endemic exclusively to this island. History In 2006, Bonds Cay attracted international media attention when it was purchased for an estimated $16 million by an investment group composed of prominent international musicians and celebrities. The core investors included Colombian pop singer Shakira, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, and Spanish singers Alejandro Sanz and Miguel Bosé. The group intended to transform the entirely undeveloped island into a luxury, carbon-neutral, culture-driven retreat for artists, featuring private residences, residential studios, and boutique hospitality facilities. Bonds Cay remains predominantly undeveloped, maintaining its natural ecosystem. The existing infrastructure on the island is minimal, consisting of a few glamping-style bungalows and a beachfront bar. The island holds a freehold title and is accessible exclusively via seaplane, helicopter, or private boat. In early 2026, the island was placed back on the international real estate market with an asking price of $30 million.

Cable Beach, Bahamas

Cable Beach is a beach, resort destination, and populated place on the northern coast of New Providence Island in the Bahamas west of Nassau. It spans two and a half miles. It is home to Pompey Market. History It is said Cable Beach owes its name to an 1892 submarine telegraph cable linking Jupiter, Florida to Goodman's Bay. Tourism in the area dates back as early as the 1940s, and by the 1950s, it had become a centre for hotel development. It was called the Bahamian Riviera. The Emerald Beach Hotel, opened in 1954, was the first air conditioned hotel and opened the largest casino in the Bahamas. Although the hotel is defunct and has been replaced more than once, the casino is still in use to this day. Howard Deering Johnson's first venture outside of the United States opened in 1958 in Cable Beach. Cable Beach experienced a period of instability in the wake of Bahamian independence and liberation as well as the rise of the newer Paradise Island and other tourism competitors. The PLP government headed by Lynden Pindling began buying failing hotels. A number of these were re-privatised in the 1990s when the FNM came into power.
