The boundaries of the 2000 acre Pelican Cay Land and Sea Park are from Pelican Point on Great Abaco to the north end of Lynyard Cay, then north outside all of the Pelican Cays, except North Pelican Cay, but inside the high North Pelican Cay nearly to its northwest end, then on a line to the southeast end of Channel Cay, then encircling Gorling Cay , and returning east of Cornish Cay to Pelican Point on Great Abaco. This is a National Park which we thoroughly enjoyed. Within these boundaries, you aren't allowed to spear fish at all, by any method. You can't take out fan coral, nor destroy or remove any coral, plant life, bird life, or eggs. It is also forbidden to dump litter or garbage.
Conviction brings heavy fines.
Sandy Cay and The Pelican Cays are the heart of this wild area. Pelican Cays Land and Sea Park is protected and maintained by the Bahamas National Trust, which was granted a 99-year lease by the Bahamas Government. Their stated purpose is to help to perpetuate conversation, science and education, aesthetic values, and a first rate recreational area. Enjoy it but help them achieve this noble objective by respecting it, so that others may also enjoy it. Sandy Cay Sandy Cay is nearly cut in two, about amidships.
