Can you walk around CocoCay?

Coco Cay is 1.0 miles long and 200 yards wide and can be easily explored by walking. There are two trams that operate on the island to offer ride service to cruise guests.



Absolutely. You can easily walk around Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas. Most of the island is accessible via paved or sandy pathways, and it takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes to walk from the ship’s pier to the furthest point, such as South Beach or the Hideaway Beach (the adults-only area that opened in 2024). In 2026, the island features clear signage and "wayfinding" kiosks to help guests navigate between Chill Island, Oasis Lagoon, and the Thrill Waterpark. For those who prefer not to walk or have mobility concerns, a complimentary tram service runs continuously throughout the day, stopping at all major beaches and attractions. The island is designed for accessibility, with beach wheelchairs available at no extra cost. Walking is highly recommended for 2026 visitors who want to find quieter, less crowded spots away from the main pool areas, as the perimeter walks offer beautiful views of the turquoise Bahamian waters.
