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.

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.
