Oven Rock Cave, Great Guana Cay

23° 58.9′ N · 76° 19.8′ W · approximate

A genuinely cathedral-scale limestone cave hung with stalactites and bats, ending at a still, gem-blue freshwater pool — one of the best off-boat adventures in the whole chain.

Practical

Anchor off Oven Rock beach. Trail head ~1/4 mile north of the rock, marked by an arrow of stones; follow to a red buoy in a branch, then right. Pitch dark inside — headlamps and closed shoes essential.
