Half Moon Cay
Half Moon Cay
- Half Moon Cay (known officially as Little San Salvador Island in the Bahamas) is Holland America Line's private island resort, famous for its two-mile crescent of fine, flour-like white sand beach and clear turquoise water.
- Over my years coordinating and speaking on Geek Cruises, it became one of my absolute favorite repeating stops. My traditional routine was to board the very first tender out in the morning, walk the entire two-mile beach to unwind after a busy conference week, and enjoy a Bahama Mama drink.
