Summer on Salt Cay!

Summer has arrived on Salt Cay!  

The seas are calm, the water refreshing, and there is no need for a wet suit or skins.

Beach BBQs have started on North Beach...good grilling, potato salad to die for, pulutan to enjoy with ice cold beer and/or rum..  Thanks to Enrique and Vershina for the BBQ chicken and steamed conch!  Lolli not to be outdone brought the pulutan.  While Porter, Cozzie, Junior and Marge brought drinks.

Our Team is considering making the Sunday Beach BBQ on Sunday afternoons one of the community activities for the upcoming season, as Porter's Island Thyme is closed on Sunday.  Just ask when you "reach" Salt Cay for the activities of the week. 

The Queen Conch are moving into shallower waters, so now it the perfect time to try Lolli's cracked conch, conch chowder, conch fritters or conch ceviche.  And nothing goes better with conch than Salt Cay Iced Tea!

Now it is back to work on the new deck at Porter's Island Thyme.  The deck is in the final stages of completion, thanks to Topla and Apol.  Word is Tony won't be returning to Salt Cay for a couple of more weeks, but there will be work for him to do when he gets here.

Apol and Topla finishing the new deck!

This is the perfect time to plan a get-a-way as airfares are lower,  there are deals on lodging, and there are no crowds on Salt Cay!

Contact Haidee at:  haidee127gmail.com for additional information..   

Please remember it is also not too early to make booking for the upcoming whale watching season before lodging rates increase.

Salt Cay: Never Stands Still

We have to apologize to everyone visiting Salt Cay for the last several weeks and for the next few weeks while we complete construction on the projects that are underway.  

New front deck "Under Construction."

Winding the deck to the Flamingo Terrace.

Work in the bar/dining room is complete with new bar stools...designed to prevent "backward flips."

New chairs that will prevent the "backward flip"  at the main bar.

The demonstration kitchen in the Coconut Room is waiting for tile for the cabinets.  Cabinet doors and drawers are being made, the sinks have been installed along with the commercial stove with two convection ovens which is ready to go.

New cabinets ready for the tile.

New stove with two convection ovens.

The Flamingo Terrace overlooking the salinas is complete, but we are still working on the new decking that approaches the Flamingo Terrace.  It should be finished in the next week or so.

"Flamingo Terrace" at Porter's Island Thyme is open for business!

Salt Cay is the perfect place for a summer vacation for the family or just to get away from it all!

There were more whales and more "soft" encounters than we have had in my tenure on Salt Cay.  If you are planning to come for a whale experience it is not too early to make reservations, as Castaway's-Salt Cay  is already booked for several key weeks in season.  Contact Haidee at haidee127@gmail.com for additional information.
