Norman's Cay is a 16-kilometre-long cay in the northern Exumas, immediately north of Shroud Cay — historically infamous as the personal cocaine-trafficking hub of Colombian cartel boss Carlos Lehder from 1978 to 1982, who took over the entire island and used it to fly cocaine into the United States. The island is now redeveloped as a small private resort (MacDuff's) with a 5-room hotel and beach club. The shallow waters off the western beach hold the iconic Curtiss C-46 wreck — a Lehder-era cocaine-smuggling cargo plane that crashed on a landing approach in 1980, now lying in 2 metres of water with the fuselage and wing snorkel-accessible. The cay also holds Soldier Cay at the southern tip — a 250-metre sand beach with a single beach bar. Norman's is 30 minutes from Shroud Cay. Season runs year-round.

Norman’s Cay is home to one of the most intriguing underwater attractions in the Bahamas: a sunken drug-smuggling plane from the 1980s. Resting in crystal-clear shallow waters, the wreck is now a thriving artificial reef teeming with marine life. This historic site is a favorite for snorkelers and divers who come to explore its haunting beauty and rich biodiversity. With easy access and a unique story, the plane wreck is a must-see for adventurers visiting Norman’s Cay.
