North Bay Beach (Salt Cay)
21° 20.4′ N · 71° 12.1′ W
Salt Cay's best beach — 1.75 miles of white sand on the north shore with small reefs just offshore and Grand Turk on the horizon.
Practical
Usually sheltered from the trades; no formal access but many paths from the sand roads. Humpbacks are sometimes seen offshore in winter. Visit TCI calls it the best snorkelling close to shore on Salt Cay: the densest coral is at the far northwest (North West Point) and northeast ends, but conditions there are often rough, so go on calm days and don't snorkel alone.
