Little Harbour and Bond's Cays, Berry Islands



Beautiful lizard in our path to the cottages at Bond's Cay
In January from our anchorage at Alder Cay, we dinghy to Flo’s Conch Shack on Little Harbour Cay to the north and Bond’s Cay to the south.  We have rum punch with Chester at Flo’s and hike the island paths that he clears to the east coast and watch the swells crash against the coral outcropping.

The famous Flo's Conch Shack welcomes us to Little Harbour Cay


Inside Flo's Gordon and Daryl get rum and goombay punches


On our hike of Little Harbour we find Darth Vader 'Wilson'
and place him to mark the trail

Bond’s Cay is being developed by Shakira, the singer, and other performers. We meet Stephen, the builder, and he invites us up to an open air bar, On Our Own, with a deck and fire pit.  He is a gracious host and serves us wine and goombay punch, but because he didn’t know we were coming, he had no fish, lobster or conch available. We are ok with that. We meet his girlfriend, Katherine, the gingerbread mermaid, who is from Canada and she gives us a tour of the facility – bar, 2 bathrooms, 2 showers, and 4 cabins. 


Host and builder Stephen holds a lucky 6 pointed starfish
On Our Own bar has a pit fire and open air deck
  Back at Little Harbour Cay ... we do more exploring. We find starfish, fast turtles, and beautiful coral beaches secluded by shallow water.


We love our twin dinghies - they are SO fast!!

The weather is forecast to shift to the south so we must find another anchorage and head south to Chub Cay.
