Walker's Cay National Park reefs and shark dives
27° 16.3′ N · 78° 23.4′ W · approximate
Walker's Cay sits behind its own barrier reef, protected since 2002 as a Bahamas National Trust park, with coral cathedrals full of fish. The cay was also famous for its sharks: bull sharks were hand-fed from the beach here.
Practical
Coordinate is approximate: a point on the reef line north-east of the cay derived from the park description (the park is the reef fringing the island); the BNT does not publish a position, and you should read the water and use local guidance. BNT notes the park has no infrastructure; no moorings are listed. The marina's fishing rules state that spearing or taking any marine animal is prohibited within national sea parks, and only a Hawaiian sling may be used for spearfishing elsewhere (no scuba or compressors to harvest). No dive shop is listed on the island in 2026 (no public facilities while under construction), so bring your own gear and compressor or fills; the historic shark feeding was a resort-run operation and should not be assumed to be running. Exposed to the Atlantic; dive only in settled weather with no north swell.
Best for
Experienced divers with their own gear in settled weather
