Warderick Wells Cay

Warderick Wells Cay sits in the central Exumas — a small uninhabited cay that holds the headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, the world's first marine reserve (declared 1958, 456-square-kilometre no-take protected zone). The park HQ on the north side of the cay maintains the mooring field (about 25 buoys) used by all visiting yachts — anchoring is forbidden on the protected zone to avoid coral damage. The cay holds the iconic Boo Boo Hill at the south end, where visiting boats traditionally leave a piece of driftwood with their boat name carved on it — the hill is now covered in thousands of layered driftwood plaques. The north side holds the famous Sand Trail dive site with reef sharks and the wreck of a sperm whale skeleton (\"Pickle\"). Warderick Wells is 2 hours from Compass Cay. Season runs year-round.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
