Northeast Point is one of Salt Cay’s more dramatic and remotely positioned coastal areas — a rugged and windswept point on the northeastern edge of the island where, on abnormally calm days, excellent snorkelling becomes accessible in the waters around the headland. The landscape here is one of the more raw and elemental on Salt Cay, exposed to the trade winds in a way that the sheltered northern beaches are not, and the sense of standing at the edge of something genuinely wild and remote is part of what makes the visit memorable. Off-road golf carts are the natural way to reach it, and the drive itself is part of the experience.
Why Go — For a raw and dramatically positioned coastal setting at Salt Cay’s northeastern edge, exceptional snorkelling on calm days, and the kind of elemental coastal landscape that the sheltered western beaches simply cannot match.
Best For — Adventurous explorers · Snorkellers · Photographers · Nature lovers · Visitors exploring Salt Cay by off-road golf cart who want to reach the island’s most remote and characterful corners
Insider Tip — Northeast Point snorkelling is only viable on the calmest days — check conditions carefully before making the trip. The drive out here in an off-road golf cart is one of the more enjoyable and characterful ways to experience the wilder side of Salt Cay, and the viewpoint alone is worth the journey even if the water is too rough to enter.
