What to do on Salt Cay
Beaches
Salt Cay has some good beaches and great snorkelling. Many of the villas are located directly on the beach, with the rest in short walking distance.
Whale Watching
Whale watching is not something you might normally expect from a tropical destination, but Salt Cay's location puts it right in the path of the migratory Silver Banks area (just north of the Dominican Republic). Whale watching season is generally January to March each year, so if you're planning to visit Providenciales or another island during this time, seriously consider a trip to Salt Cay.

Kayaking
Interested in open-water kayaking or navigating your way though mangroves? One local provider offers eco-tours via kayak, which is an excellent way to bird watch along the coast, or observe sea-life, such as dolphins and sea-turtles.
