Great Harbour Cay, Berry Islands, Bahamas

We arrived after a 21-hour passage from Key Biscayne to Bullock's Harbour. We cleared customs and immigration at Great Harbour Cay (pronounced key) Marina. Time to relax and enjoy the first island paradise.

Our choice of beach on the banks side or a hike across the island to the Tongue of the Ocean side beach great for beach combing. Sunset at Bonds Cay Green flash at sunset at Bonds Cay Hiking the path  across the island through the brush to the  ocean side beach Surf's up!
