East Bay Islands National Park (North Caicos)
21° 53.7′ N · 71° 53.3′ W
8,331 acres of uninhabited wetland cays — Bay Cay, East Bay Cay and Major Hill Cay — off Bottle Creek, home to a large share of the world's Turks & Caicos rock iguanas and dense seagrass beds.
Practical
Kayak and small-boat territory; the northeastern Caicos Bank is shoal-draft only (BoatTEST warns the run along North, Middle and East Caicos is not for cruising yachts). Casuarina-lined beaches on the north shores. National park: no take.

Kayaking and birding
