Little Stirrup Cay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of cays and small islands. It is less than a mile (around one kilometer) wide from east to west and less than a 200 yards (meters) from north to south. The east end is the center of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatee, rays, and numerous fish can be seen. There is a rocky inlet on the north side of the island large enough for the tenders operate from. Nature trails run the entire length and width of the island.
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line leases the island for their exclusive use and calls it "Coco Cay". Royal Caribbean cruise ships frequently stop at the island and bring visitors over by tender. Activities available to guests include swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing, scuba diving, and Waverunner piloting. A complimentary barbecue lunch is offered. And the island's specialty drink, the "Coco-Loco", is available with or without rum for a reasonable charge.
