Nearly, there are more than 200 sunken ships dating from between the 16th and the 18th centuries. According to the legend, some of Henry Morgan's treasure is still buried in the area.

The cay has a land area of over 15 square miles (40 square km), first class hotels and services, and virgin nature with abundant species of flora and fauna. The seabed in the area has 32 scuba-diving sites fascinating coral formations, tunnels, steep walls covered with gorgonians and a wealth of multicolored marine life. The water is extremely clear.
