WELCOME TO OCEAN CAY MARINE RESERVE

Not only do MSC boast a stunning fleet of top of the range ships and world class itineraries they also have a private island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. This island just south of Bimini is a slice of paradise waiting just for you. It provides a nice contrast to the business of other ports of call as this island puts the R's into rest and relaxation.

There are six golden beaches, a vast lagoon and the Bahamian atmosphere to welcome you ashore. If you're looking for a bit more adrenaline, then don't worry. Ocean Cay is home to a vast array of water activities. You can kayak, jet ski, parasail or paddleboard, plus you can snorkel in the Ocean Cay waters for the island's incredible wildlife. Once the sun sets you can gaze at the stars with their beach side stargazing. The island also boasts a beach dedicated to families, so your little ones can enjoy Ocean Cay just as much as you.

What is the weather in the Caribbean

Ocean Cay’s weather is the epitome of tropical perfection, blending sun-drenched days with gentle ocean breezes that carry the scent of salt and sea. Temperatures typically hover in the delightful range of the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, striking a perfect balance between warm and refreshing. The sun rules the skies, casting its golden glow over turquoise waters and powdery white sands, inviting you to soak up the beauty at every turn.

Occasionally, a passing cloud drifts by, softening the sunlight just enough to give you a breather before the vibrant blue sky returns. If a rain shower makes an appearance, it’s brief and invigorating, leaving the air clean and crisp while making the island's lush greenery pop even more vividly. Nights are comfortably mild, perfect for moonlit strolls by the shore. It's a slice of paradise where every day feels like a postcard come to life.

Things to do in Ocean Cay

Start your day on Ocean Cay by sinking your toes into soft white sand and swimming in the crystal-clear turquoise waters—true island bliss.

As the day unfolds, treat yourself to a refreshing tropical cocktail at the Lighthouse bar, or savor fresh seafood and Bahamian-inspired dishes at an island eatery. Don’t miss the live music that brings a festive island vibe to the day! When evening arrives, gather by the bonfire on the beach, letting the sound of the waves and a sky full of stars create the perfect ending to your tropical getaway. With its serene beauty and endless ways to enjoy paradise, Ocean Cay is an unforgettable island escape.
