Scilly Cay is a small coral cay in the middle of Island Harbour with a single operation on it, a beach restaurant grilling lobster and crayfish over charcoal, and a boat runs out from the village pier when you wave from the shore. Palms, sand and a bar make up the rest. It became one of the things Anguilla is known for and runs only on certain days in season.
What you actually see
- The single restaurant - the one operation on the cay.
- The grilled lobster - the crayfish and lobster cooked over charcoal.
