Review & FAQ:

Renowned for its sugary white sand, Sandy Spit is a small island located south of Green Cay. The entire outer edge of the island is a wide beach while the interior is a cluster of rich vegetation. The remote island is a fantastic spot for scuba diving and snorkeling because of its clear waters and colorful reef.

Generally, the sea around the island is calm, but at times large waves pose issues for swimmers. Sandy Spit is easily accessible from Green Cay. When the tide conditions are right, you can catch a glimpse of the coral bridge that spans the distance between the two islands.
