Coco Cay:

Originally known as Little Stirrup Cay, Coco Cay is the private island of cruise line giant, Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Ships frequently stop at this little cay in the Berry Island, Bahamas. Activities available to guests include swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing, scuba diving, and Waverunner piloting. Royal Caribbean offers children's programs on the island including a Fisher-Price sponsored Power Wheels track for young children.

Adjacent to Coco Cay, is NCL's private island, Great Stirrup Cay. Tenders will transport passengers from the ships to the island itself. Beach BBQ fare, described as the best hey have ever eaten by some of our own CLF members, is served in an outdoor pavilion with picnic table seating. You can avoid the crowds by heading slightly down the Cay to Wanderer's Beach, quiet, private, yet still with lounge chairs. Nature trails also run the entire length of the island.

There is a small straw marketplace here where you can get your hair braided or purchase some trinkets. Keep in mind, the island/cay is tiny and won't have as large a Straw Marketplace as some of the other Cruise Line Private Islands. Bring cash if you plan on buying any items above and beyond drinks which can be charged to on your on board account.

Has anyone been to Coco Cay yet? I hear the snorkeling is spectacular, since Royal Caribbean has heavily invested in natural reef creation attracting large stingrays and groupers. Let us know if we've left out some important details or if you have any special advice to enjoy Coco Cay to the fullest.

I have been to Coco Cay a handful of times and love the water.
The snorkeling was fun, there is a man made reef there (sunken plane), nothing too great. Lots of cool tropical fish that I dont see here in Jacksonville, Fla.
The BBQ fare was great.
The part of the island I found very relaxing was the hammocks (they can be seen when the tender boat pulls into the island).
One piece of advice: WEAR SUNSCREEN!
