Located 15 - 30 minutes by boat from Port Royal. It has a small beach which makes it a popular location for recreation and sunbathing. It is a regular hotspot for post-party-goers, and during holiday season (Summer and Christmas) weekends the island is often swarmed with boats, music and socialites. Lime Cay measures 380 meters northwest-southeast, and is up to 80 meters wide, measuring 2 ha in area.[1] About half of the area is wooded, the rest is sand and coral. It has no infrastructure except for a small open building used as a Gazzebo. The building is located at 17°55′06.36″N 76°49′11.96″W.

There is also an "oyster man" who sells oysters just before you board the boat on the weekends. His "backshot" sauce is renowned for its delicious, spicy flavor.

One way to get to Lime Cay is via Jet Ski from Morgans Harbour. A trip on a good Jet ski or speed boat will take 15 minutes and the Local tour agency canoes' should take about 15 - 20 minutes. It is also home to many dolphins, perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving and night camping with proper guide. Contact LimeCay ToursJa if you need assistance.
