4.5 Lime Cay (70 reviews)
- Paradise
Islands

Before coming to Jamaica I did a little bit of research looking for places that I have not heard of and came across Lime Cay. After seeing a you tube video I was adiment that this was one of the places I'm visiting. As I was driving I could go pretty much where I wanted. So picked up my bag and drove to Port Royal and caught a small cab boat to the islet. To say that the pictures showed its true beauty is an understatement. The waters were crystal clear and the sane was white /golden. There are no amenities here so ensure you have enough provisions for your length of stay. I stayed all day and caught one of the last boats back. This place is just pure paradise and something you could only ever imagine in films... But its real and you can be part of this idillic place Would I recommend this to others HELL YES..... See more..
