Practical
Position approximate: in Coral Bay near Coral Harbor (the operator says it floats in open water in a working harbor near the Saunders Gut seagrass area). Open Sunday to Friday, 10:30 am to 4:30 pm; closes for the off-season and reopens mid-October (2026 website). First come, first served, no reservations. Bringing your own boat: tie to a designated Lime Out mooring or anchor in sand only (never seagrass or coral); do not use the private moorings around it; no wake; no swimming across the harbor channel, and swimming more than a couple of yards from your boat is not advised. Shuttle: Salt + Lime Express from the Coral Bay dinghy dock boat ramp, US$30 round trip, up to 1.5 hours at Lime Out. Tacos about US$13 (2026 menu). Phone +1 340-209-3777.
