DIAMOND CAY

  • Latitude: 18.4506
  • Longitude: -64.7253
  • Caribbean Sea
  • Marina in British Virgin Islands

Location: British Virgin Islands

"Marina Diamond Cay" doesn't appear to be a widely known or established marina in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) as of my latest information. It's possible that Diamond Cay refers to a specific location or a small, less commercialized area which might not be as well-documented as larger marinas in the BVI like Nanny Cay, Scrub Island Resort, or Yacht Harbour.

However, given the context provided, I can offer a generalized description that might fit a marina or a notable cay (small island) in the BVI.

Description of a Typical Marina in the BVI:

Location:

  • The BVI is an archipelago in the Caribbean, east of Puerto Rico. It’s known for its clear waters, winding mountainous roads, and reef-lined beaches full of flora and fauna.

Marina Facilities:

  • Berths/Slips: Typically these marinas offer numerous berths for yachts and smaller boats, which may range from 20 to 60 feet in length.
  • Moorings: Floating mooring buoys for those who prefer to stay off the dock.
  • Amenities: Restaurants, bars, showers, restrooms, laundry facilities, swimming pools, and shops including provisioning stores.
  • Services: Fuel stations, electricity and water hookups, WiFi, waste disposal, and perhaps boat repair services.
  • Security: Often include 24-hour security to ensure the safety of vessels and visitors.
  • Recreational Facilities: Access to water sports rentals, charter services, diving centers, and possibly guided excursion services.

Specification/Features of a Typical Cay (like Diamond Cay):

Geography:

  • Size: Small landmass, possibly only a couple of acres in size.
  • Accessibility: Accessible by boat, typically found near snorkeling or diving spots due to surrounding reefs.
  • Flora and Fauna: Rich in local Caribbean flora like mangroves, palm trees, and seagrasses. Marine life includes various tropical fish species, corals, and occasionally turtles and rays.

Amenities on or near the Cay:

  • Shelter: May have temporary or permanent structures like picnic shelters or transient huts/cottages for visitors.
  • Recreational Activities: Ideal for snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and sometimes fishing. Land might be used for picnicking or hiking if space allows.
  • Environmental Focus: These cays often emphasize a "leave no trace" ethic to conserve natural beauty.

Examples in BVI context:

  • Sites like The Bight at Norman Island or Sandy Cay near Jost Van Dyke might provide similar experiences with pristine beaches and abundant sea life for snorkeling and diving.

To get precise details about a location like Marina Diamond Cay, I would recommend reaching out directly to local tourism boards, marinas, charter companies, or sailing clubs that could provide current and specific information.
