How big is CocoCay?

Coco Cay aka Little Stirrup Cay, is privately owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (RCCL). It is about one mile long, 1/3 of a mile wide, and its white-sand beach is reserved exclusively for RCCL's guests.



Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas, spans approximately 125 acres (about 0.5 square kilometers). While only a portion of the island was originally developed, the massive $250 million renovation completed a few years ago transformed the majority of the space into a world-class destination. The island features several distinct zones, including "Thrill Waterpark," which houses North America's tallest waterslide, the 135-foot Daredevil’s Peak. Other areas include the massive "Oasis Lagoon" freshwater pool, "Chill Island" for traditional beach relaxation, and the exclusive "Coco Beach Club." Despite its relatively modest size compared to larger Bahamian islands, its layout is meticulously engineered to handle up to two Oasis-class ships simultaneously, meaning it can accommodate over 10,000 guests at once without feeling overly congested. The island is about 1 mile long and 480 yards wide, making it small enough to navigate entirely on foot, though a complimentary tram service runs regularly between the pier and the various activity hubs for guest convenience.
