For 40 years, the Wallace family has welcomed visitors to this tiny private island off Island Harbour — grilled lobster, crayfish and that legendary rum punch, served barefoot in the sand. A short ferry ride away (or by helicopter, if you're feeling extra), Scilly Cay has hosted everyone from honeymooners to Hollywood. Open Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays — come hungry, stay for hours.

Hop on the ferry from Island Harbour — just $5 round trip and a breezy 2-minute ride to the cay. Call ahead and they'll come get you. From the West End, a $35 round-trip shuttle runs through their local taxi partner (group discounts available). Arriving by private boat? There's a dock or a small sandy beach for landing. And yes — Scilly Cay is the only offshore restaurant in the Eastern Caribbean with its own helipad.
Tip: the map below shows the departure pier in Island Harbour — that's where you'll head first. Give them a call, or just ask one of the boatmen at the pier — someone will take you across.
