A salt water wonderland where happiness comes in waves…
There is no denying that our beach is what makes our island home so poetically paradisal. White sand as far as the eye can see, turquoise waves breaking into a seafoam shore, this is an ocean lover’s dreamland. Daily snorkeling trips to our beautiful coral reef are available and small Hobie Cat sailing boats, along with kayaks, await the opportunity to take you out on the water.
Ride the tropical trade winds on a kitesurfing journey or alternatively dive deep beneath the waves to view the ocean playground on an organized scuba diving trip. Take advantage of our guides by spending some time with reel and rod on a fishing excursion – we have some of the best bone fishing in the world! For a day full of awe and wonder you can head off whale watching – if you’re really lucky, you’ll even spot our long time friend JoJo the dolphin!
Daily snorkeling trips are available on a complimentary basis with all snorkeling gear provided. Weather-permitting, you’ll enjoy a boat ride out to the reef where you’ll enjoy witnessing the majesty of the world’s 3rd largest barrier reef. For those who prefer to get under the surface, we can arrange scuba diving tours through the professional dive services available on nearby Providenciales. With visibility sometimes exceeding 100ft, it is an underwater paradise for both snorkelers and divers alike.
Whether you’re a dedicated angler or love the idea of experimenting with a rod and reel, our turquoise waters offer excellent fishing opportunities. Deep sea fishing for species such as marlin, sailfish, wahoo and mahi mahi is available just 10 minutes away from our private island. A little closer to shore you can experience reef fishing for species like grouper and snapper.
No trip to Pine Cay would be complete without trying your hand at bonefishing. Surrounded by expansive ‘wadeable’ flats, the island is home to some of the best bonefishing in the world! Bonefish are known to be elusive but with our perfect conditions you are sure to experience catching incredible bonefish, tarpon and snook.
The waters around Pine Cay are an nature seeker’s dream and with the sun almost always shining, you’re bound to want to be on the ocean. We have kayaks and paddleboards available for guests to use meaning that you can explore the ocean on your own time. Visit the ‘aquarium’, a perfectly secluded spot at the south end of Pine Cay where you can spot schools of younger fish enjoying their ‘nursery’.
For those seeking adrenaline on their vacation, the waters surrounding Providenciales and Pine Cay have some ideal Kite Surfing conditions. Whether you’re a beginners or experienced boarder, we can organize lessons or trips and equipment hire for guests with schools on nearby Providenciales.
Our near constant breeze from the tradewinds makes for the most ideal of sailing conditions. We have complimentary use Hobie Cat boats available for guest use, or for those seeking a group event we are often able to coordinate sailing days with larger private sail boats.
Why not charter a private sail or powerboat and explore the myriad of deserted private coves and beaches that litter our coastline. Choose either a half-day or full-day with full catering and experience the best way to enjoy our incredible marine setting, be it possibly playing with our friendly Dolphin Jo Jo and his baby, or just sit back and marvel at the incredible multi-hued turquoise waters and pristine sand spits.
One of the most magical experiences in Turks and Caicos is the opportunity to see the Humpback Whales as they migrate from the northern Atlantic Ocean to warmer waters near the Caribbean. Very often it can be possible to see whale calves with their mothers, as well as pods of five or more whales. The Meridian Club organizes boat trips to see these whales who can be seen seasonally between January and the end of March.
As rare as Pine Cay itself, each lunar month – 5 nights after the full moon, and 55 minutes after sunset – an amazing phenomenon occurs. A breathtaking, 15-minute display of underwater luminescence is created by the mating of a worm-like sea creature called Odontosyllis Enopla. Visible just minutes away by boat from the shores of our island, this incredible site is only seen in a few places in the world. If you are staying with us when it happens, we will make sure we give you the best view – from one of our boats out at sea, accompanied by a glass of wine.
