Pine Cay

Pine Cay's 2½-mile-long (4-km-long) beach is among the most beautiful in the archipelago. The 800-acre private island, which is in the string of small cays between Provo and North Caicos, is home to a secluded resort and almost 40 private residences. The beach alone is reason to stay here: the sand seems a little whiter, the water a little brighter than beaches on the other cays. Nonguests of the Meridien Club can make reservations for lunch, which will include the private boat transfer. Expect to pay between $100 and $150 for the day; there are themed buffets on Sunday.
