Guana Cay's picturesque small settlement lies three miles south of Bakers Bay with, as mentioned, limited accessibility between the two. It follows the harbour side road where you'll find a couple of souvenir shops, food stores, and liquor stores. The settlement here makes one feel you are on an "Out Island" unless caught in the foot traffic headed to Nippers along the road. Along the way, you will no doubt pass Milo's produce stand which has been at the exact location for generations. Be sure to say hi on your walk. Further along, you'll also notice the remains of the old fig tree surrounded by benches, the settlements version of the "town square" where local folks gather to chat and play dominos.
Just 150 miles off the Florida coast, the marina at Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club is open to visiting charter guests, and luxury cruisers.
