With just one day to enjoy Great Stirrup Cay, it’s important to plan ahead. Arriving early ensures you’ll find a prime beach spot, especially if you prefer shade or a quieter stretch of sand. Booking excursions in advance can save disappointment, as popular activities like snorkeling and stingray encounters fill up quickly.

Think about the flow of your day: start with something active like snorkeling or kayaking, then relax on the beach in the afternoon. Pack essentials like reef-safe sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and water shoes to make the experience more comfortable. Don’t forget to set aside time for a leisurely meal at the buffet and maybe a cocktail as you watch the turquoise waves.
If you prefer a quieter experience, consider walking a bit farther from the main beach area. The further you go, the fewer crowds you’ll encounter, which can make the island feel even more like a private escape. With a little planning, you can balance relaxation with adventure and make the most of your visit. For more insider tips and a complete overview, read my Great Stirrup Cay Destination Guide.
