About This Island

Roberts Cay is a remarkable private island nestled in the northern Exuma Cays chain. Encompassing 12 acres of vibrant greenery, this idyllic island boasts two pristine white sandy beaches, a sheltered harbor, and an elevation of approximately 32 feet. Surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, it’s a haven for snorkeling in the calm harbor and deep-sea fishing on the eastern side of the Cay. Situated roughly 28 miles southeast of Nassau, just half a mile south of Ship Channel Cay, and conveniently close to Norman’s and Highbourne Cay, Roberts Cay offers the perfect canvas to craft your own private paradise.
