Walker’s Cay is a small private cay in the northern Bahamas that has historically been developed as a sportfishing resort and marina. The cay is part of the northern chain of Bahamian islands and has been known for deep-sea angling, reefs and offshore fishing grounds.

Recreational highlights include sportfishing, dive and snorkel access to nearby reefs and the remoteness of the location for anglers seeking pelagic species. Facilities have been limited or variable in recent years and visits are typically arranged through private charters or resort operators when available.

The cay was developed as a privately owned fishing resort in the 20th century, and later suffered severe damage from hurricanes; since then it has been the subject of restoration and redevelopment initiatives at various times. Its history is tied to sportfishing tourism in the northern Bahamas.

Geographically the cay lies in the northern Bahamas group near Grand Cay and the Abaco/Grand Bahama area, positioned offshore in the Atlantic and accessed by private boat or light aircraft to nearby islands.

  • Access and facilities: Access is by private boat or charter only; there are no regular public ferry services and facilities are very limited on the cay.
