Gaulding's Cay Review

Snorkelers and divers will want to spend some time at Gaulding's Cay beach, 3 mi north of Gregory Town. Swim, or walk at low tide, out to the tiny offshore island to witness a concentration of sea anemones so spectacular it dazzled even Jacques Cousteau's biologists (it's as if someone laid down a carpet). Gaulding's Cay is also a nice 1,500-foot shelling stretch for beachcombers.

    Gaulding's Cay Review

    As commented, this Cay/beach is indeed shallow; perfect for young children to snorkle. While our 5 year old caught crabs at the waterline, our 8 year old easily swam to and explored the "island" 50 yards offshore. Plenty of fish, sea fans, brain coral, and more. Shaded parking too.
