Tips for Visiting Walker's Cay National Park

  • Visit early morning to catch the shallow-water flats at low tide when bonefish and permit move closest to shore.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a good hat - the Cay has no shade and the sun is sharp even on breezy days.
  • If planning to snorkel, ask local captains about currents; some channels can be deceptively swift.
