The island began welcoming visitors in December 2019 after a $200 million project to turn the once industrial site into a world-class cruise destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSC Ocean Cay really is a unique island destination where guests are invited to connect with their natural surroundings and learn about the importance of preserving the oceans and coral reefs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/msc-cruises\">MSC Cruises<\/a> has spent the past years creating a biodiverse and sustainable environment, with over 4,600 trees and palms planted across the island. Working with the Government of The Bahamas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/msc-cruises\">MSC Cruises<\/a><a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/CruisePartner\/MSC%20Cruises\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/CruisePartner\/MSC%20Cruises\"> <\/a>committed to protecting 64 square miles of waters around Ocean Cay by designating it as a Marine Reserve, they have even established a coral nursery around the island to encourage and sustain the growth of new corals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the highlights of MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to soak up the sun and relax on a gorgeous white-sand beach, well you\u2019re in luck as there are no less than 7 spectacular beaches on the island to choose from. The largest of the 7 beach areas is composed of North Beach and South Beach. With shallow crystal-clear water this area is perfect for protected swimming as well as water sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to stay active, there are plenty of options for you. From snorkelling safaris in the marine reserve to kayak or paddleboard rentals around the island, you can even take a short boat ride and snorkel amongst a shipwreck as you rub shoulders with the various colourful and exotic fish that inhabit these tranquil waters.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1-1024x512.png\" alt=\"The lighthouse at MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve\" class=\"wp-image-571\" style=\"width:768px;height:384px\" width=\"768\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1-360x180.png 360w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1-750x375.png 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MSC-Ocean-Cay-1.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is food available at MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to discover authentic Bahamian favourites head straight for Seakers Buffet.
