Details
Lime Cay Jamaica is a small island located roughly a 15-minute boat ride off Port Royal. Uninhabitable by most animals due to the rising and falling tides that sometimes cover the entire island (at nights), it is a popular hot spot for a beach day, especially in Kingston. Clear blue seas surround this white sand beach but be warned there are no bathrooms, bars or utilities on the island, so you will have to take your own refreshments with you and handle your business before heading over.
My Jamaican Tour Guide will pick you up, and take you to Port Royal to board the boat to cross the sea and go to the island. Depending on the add-on/upgrades you select, we can provide you with refreshments, snorkel equipment, beach supplies, and more.
