Accessible by Carnival and Holland America cruise ships, Half Moon Cay is often used as a stopover for cruises from Florida. Half Moon Cay is one of about 700 islands that make up the archipelago of the Bahamas. Also called Little San Salvador Island, it is located about 100 miles southeast of Nassau. It’s known for the long, crescent-shaped Half Moon Beach. Luxury cabanas dot the beachfront, which gives way to trail-lined country rich in birdlife. Half Moon Lagoon Aqua Park has water slides and playgrounds. Stingray Cove, a lagoon enclosure, is home to tame stingrays. Enjoy the warm sun, soft sand, and beautifully blue Caribbean water while relaxing on the beach in a hammock or lounge chair.
