Private island Great Stirrup Cay, is the northernmost island in a chain known as The Berry Islands. It’s situated in an area along the Northwest Providence Channel. When sailing vessels gave way to steamships, shipping traffic increased through this channel. As a result, in 1863, the Imperial Lighthouse Service erected the lighthouse on Great Stirrup Cay. Although it was manned for many years, it’s currently timed and solar-powered.
On Great Stirrup Cay, you can snooze in a hammock under a shady palm tree, learn to snorkel in a peaceful cove where tropical fish weave around equally colorful coral, dance the limbo and enjoy a beach-side barbecue. Or, circle the island in a kayak or sailboat. |
