Rum Cay Travel Guide
Bahamas
Rum Cay is a very small community in the Bahamas, with a population of 91. It sits on Rum Cay, one of the country’s quieter islands, and is served by New Port Nelson Airport (RCY).
There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Rum Cay, so the island is better suited to travellers seeking a low-key island setting than a beach-focused resort destination.
