Half Moon Cay tourist attractions
Snorkeling
Put on your snorkeling equipment and your sense of adventure. If you want to snorkel with coral, go to the end of the beach opposite the Welcome Center. You’ll come across the reef after around 75 to 100 feet. Stuart’s Cove, a beautiful dive and snorkel center in the West End, is also highly rated.
Half Moon Lagoon Aqua Park
Half Moon Lagoon Aqua Park is located on Half Moon Cay’s main beach, close to the Fort San Salvador Welcome Center and the Bahamian Village. Kids may zoom down a shipwreck-themed waterslide, splash about on a water-filled playground, and fire the water cannons of a pirate ship.
Half Moon Cay Playground
Half Moon Cay offers a playground and a basketball court, as well as beach activities with the entertainment staff. There are slides, pirate ship structures, swings, and seesaws in this sandy area. The water playground with a slide, the supervised drop-off area, and the teen-only section are popular with families.
Bahamian Church
The non-religious Bahamian chapel has a view of the ocean and is a rustic, tropical place where couples can renew their wedding vows.
