is positioned perfectly to provide you with a variety <strong>of</strong> day<br />

trip opportunities, located just 7 miles from Grand Turk,<br />

22 miles from South Caicos and 7 miles from <strong>the</strong> bird<br />

sanctuary at Great Sand Cay.<br />

Speaking <strong>of</strong> which, Salt Cay’s bird population is<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r well-kept secret. We have over 36 species spotted<br />

here, including herons, egrets and ospreys. The flamingos<br />

have returned and are seen in <strong>the</strong> South Creek and<br />

South Pond area daily. They come over from Grand Turk<br />

to feed. (We say <strong>the</strong> food must be better here!)<br />

The most common means <strong>of</strong> transportation on Salt<br />

Cay are bicycles and golf carts. You can walk or ride to<br />

most any <strong>of</strong> our spectacular beaches. Hiking, biking and<br />

relaxing are very popular, as well as deep-sea, hand-line<br />

or bonefishing in <strong>the</strong> South Creek. Going on a historical<br />

walking tour, hunting for clams in <strong>the</strong> sand flats (<strong>the</strong>n<br />

having <strong>the</strong> local cafés cook <strong>the</strong>m for you) or “hunting”<br />

for shots on a photographic safari are just a few <strong>of</strong> many<br />

activities that folks find to do on Salt Cay.<br />

There are four bistros/cafés on-island, each with<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir own specialties. The island has four small stores for<br />

basics and most all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 14 different accommodations<br />
