Middleton Cay conch middens
21° 29.0′ N · 71° 34.9′ W
A 12-acre cay 2.5 miles off South Caicos piled with mountains of discarded queen conch shells — modern ones mixed with shells left by the pre-Columbian Lucayans.
Practical
Shallow bank around it — dinghy or shoal draft only. Part of the Admiral Cockburn Land and Sea National Park; don't remove shells.
