| Salt Cay is a tiny island (3 square miles) in the Turks & Caicos Islands that for years was one of the largest salt producers in the world. And now, a place where you can experience the Caribbean as you imagined it. Have longed to find and experience it. It's a place that rests gently in the back of your mind and after a visit makes the day-to-day a better place
When you go you will find spectacular and completely undeveloped beaches with great snorkeling and you can even bring up conch for your dinner, intriguing rocky coastlines, and the Salinas, where the salt was produced, now a "UNESCO World Heritage" site, an intriguing glimpse into history and a scene of beauty if you're lucky enough to stroll under the full moon.
Salt Cay is home to about 100 folks, several historical and interesting churches, old Bermuda-style plantation homes, built high so salt could be stored in cellars before shipping to dinner tables throughout the world, Taylor's Hill where the ruins of the old whaling industry, that is gone but the whales are still here, lively bird watching, roving donkey, chickens, cows and horses. And some good hiking for great views, unbelievable sunsets, and maybe you will get to see the green flash, a flash of green around the sun as it vanishes for the day.
In stark contrast to the laid back atmosphere on shore, is the lively excitement just off shore. There are pristine reefs teeming with fish, turtle, rays, spectacular coral formations and sponges. And January through March, "The Whales". The humpback whales migrate through the Columbus Passage, just off shore, and can be seen, heard and perhaps even dove with. And it is all within a short boat ride to the numerous dive sites.
