Disney’s Two Private Islands:

Our magical voyage includes stops at Disney’s two private islands, Castaway Cay and the new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

Castaway Cay offers a stunning escape with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and tropical landscapes. Adults can relax at Serenity Bay while families enjoy the Family Beach. Kids can explore Scuttle’s Cove, a supervised area with fun activities.

Visitors wade in the turquoise water at Castaway Cay while more sit on the white sand beach. There are colorful umbrellas along the beach line with green foliage on the other side.

For adventure seekers, Castaway Cay provides snorkeling, kayaking, biking, and thrilling water sports like paddleboarding and the Pelican Plunge slide. Dining and shopping options ensure there’s something for everyone to savor.

The twisting yellow tubes of the Pelican Plunge waterslides at Castaway Cay empty into the clear Caribbean water. The slides are on a large wooden platform along with a small waterplay area.

Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point opened in June 2024, offering pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and activities for all ages. Whether you’re looking to relax, adventure, or explore the island’s charm, Lookout Cay has something for everyone.

A sign reading “Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point” in white and blue lettering is seen under a blue sky. The sign is also decorated with vibrantly colored flowers and geometric patterns.

Blending Disney magic with Bahamian heritage, Lighthouse Point celebrates sustainability and local culture. Guests can admire vibrant island-inspired architecture and Bahamian artwork, showcasing regional craftsmanship. From interactive activities to themed dining and entertainment, Lookout Cay immerses guests in the spirit of the Bahamas. With Disney’s signature attention to detail, it’s an unforgettable getaway.
