Located 15 - 30 minutes by boat from Port Royal.[1] It has a small beach which makes it a popular location for recreation and sunbathing.[2] It is a regular hotspot for post-party-goers, and during holiday season (Summer and Christmas) weekends the island is often swarmed with boats, music and socialites.[3][4][5] Lime Cay measures 380 meters northwest-southeast, and is up to 80 meters wide, measuring 2 ha in area.[6] About half of the area is wooded, the rest is sand and coral. It has no infrastructure except for a small open building used as a Gazzebo. The building is located at 17°55′06.36″N 76°49′11.96″W / 17.9184333°N 76.8199889°W / 17.9184333; -76.8199889.
