Salt Cay
Explore Salt Cay
Salt Cay, the “island that time forgot”; is the smallest of the inhabited islands, boasting a mere 2.5 square miles. Once the center of a bustling salt industry, from the 1600s to 1900s, Salt Cay is to this day enormously rich in history, with remnants of the salt era, such as Salinas, salt mills and Bermuda style historical homes still standing as a testament to a bygone era.
Today, thanks to its proximity to the Columbus Passage, it offers some of the best scuba diving and whale watching in the world. Year after year, visitors to Salt Cay stare in amazement at the gigantic humpback whales that pass by from January through April.

Salt Cay THE LAID BACK CHARM OF SALT CAY
Salt Cay is long overdue for sensitive development, whether it be a unique, historical island home, away from the glamour and bustle of Providenciales, a small but exquisite hotel or restaurant. While it may be known as “the island that time forgot”, Salt Cay already offers an unforgettable experience for visitors and a handful of winter residents who return time and time again to this truly “charmed isle”.
