Great Guana Cay is one of the most pristine and beautiful cays in the Bahamas. If you're looking for peace and quiet - it's there. If you're looking to socialize or party - it's right there too. Guana has miles and miles of white, sandy beach - just waiting to be explored. Perfect for walking, running, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, tanning or collecting shell, sea glass or sea beans. Maybe you’ll even find an antique glass ball that has floated ashore. When you go strolling down the beach, you'd be surprised if you meet anyone else.

When you feel totally at peace and are ready to socialize, you can visit one of the beach bars & Restaurants, all with beautiful views.

The general population in Guana consists of no more than 150 people. In addition there are at least as many second home-owners, but they are all rarely on the island at the same time. We also have people working for Baker's Bay development located on the northern end of the island. And then we have tourists, of course, which we welcome with a smile. The locals are friendly and most of them would greet you with a "hi" and a wave on passing. If you have questions, everyone will be more than happy to help you.

Guana Cay has one small school. Many kids take the ferry over to Marsh Harbour to go to private schools.

You will find a couple of gift shops (Grabbers, Dive Guana, Nipper's and Orchid Bay Marina), one grocery store, and two liquor stores.

In the harbour there's a brand new playground to make the little ones happy.

You can go scuba diving, rent a golf cart and tour the island. The two ends of the islands are closed off by gated communities – Orchid Bay and Baker’s Bay - with marinas. Orchid Bay Marina is open to anyone.

If you plan to visit by boat, there are several places in the harbor you can dock if you don’t want to use a buoy or anchor up. If you're lucky, you might spot turtles, stingrays and dolphins playing in the harbour.
