Shroud Cay

Shroud Cay is the northernmost cay in the Exuma Land and Sea Park, an uninhabited cay owned by Exuma Park. This archipelago of cays and rocks surrounds a shallow tidal mangrove salt marsh that creates a unique nursery for conch, lobster, sea turtles, birds, and a myriad of fish.

The landscape of Shroud Cay changes from year to year due to winds and waves. Many Bahamas Yacht Charters in the Exumas visit Shroud Cay.

Shroud Cay | Things to see and do

  • Explore Camp Driftwood Beach and hike to the highest point of the cay for fantastic views. The camp was built in the 1960s by Ernest Scholtes.
  • Kayak. Shroud Cay has channels of mangroves that you can spend the afternoon kayaking through at high tide. You can also SUP on the calm waters.
  • Snorkel.
  • Hike. Make your way to the highest vantage point for panoramic views.
  • Dive. The Wax Cut Drift Dive boasts stunning coral formations.
  • Jump in the washing machine. This unique area of zipping currents runs around a little beach peninsula. If you jump in the current on one side of the point, it will wash you around to the other side, thus earning its name “the washing machine.”
  • Explore the fascinating rock formations. Be sure to wear shoes as the rocks can be very sharp.
  • Relax on the beach. The beach here is rocky and mixed with white sand. Although the beach is rocky, you can find sandy areas for sunning and beach games.
  • Look for wildlife. Shroud Cay is home to a variety of wildlife. Sea turtles find refuge in the cay’s mangroves.
