Kay's Restaurant & Sand Bar

Perched under a broad almond tree in Port Nelson, Rum Cay, Kay’s is a laid-back destination combining a restaurant, beachfront sand bar, and a small convenience store. The spot is cherished by both locals and travelers, and you can expect warm Bahamian hospitality, barefoot charm, and friendly chatter. Menu highlights include conch specialties, fresh fish and lobster, plus hearty beef and mutton dishes.

Availability

Kay’s is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That said, Rum Cay operates on “island time” and business hours can change, so calling ahead is recommended. During crab season, look out for fun events like the sandy‑floor Crab-eating Contest.
