Manjack Cay was recommended to us by several other kid boats as a great place to enjoy nature and see animals. Sure enough, we enjoyed nature and saw lots of animals!!

After anchoring, we headed to the beach in the dinghy and went exploring. We found an area where people were feeding sharks and rays. There was a lot going on, and we weren’t used to seeing lemon sharks, so that was a little creepy and a little cool.

The rays kept going back and forth, back and forth.
Petting the rays as they pass by.
Lots of nurse sharks were zipping by, too. It was easy enough to see them in the shallow sandy area, but much more difficult to see them in that darker water a little deeper.

After playing with sharks and rays, we headed over to another beach where we played and made forts for a while.

Later we headed to a swampy area in the middle of the cay that is known for the sea turtles that live and swim there.

We spotted this huge starfish in about 5 feet of water.
The “swamp” was smooth and very protected.
We saw lots of sea turtles, but most of them were very skiddish and swam away quickly when we got close.
We found this huge spotted eagle ray as we were heading out of the channel. It’s tail was so long!!

We loved seeing all the animals around Manjack!! Thanks for following our adventures!!

Reading before bed.
