About Scilly Cay

Scilly Cay is one of Anguilla most celebrated and unique dining experiences. It is a tiny private coral cay just a short ferry ride from the Island Harbour dock. Founded in 1985 by Sandra and Eudoxie Wallace, the restaurant began as a simple beach bar serving grilled seafood and has grown into a bucket list style island dining stop. The island setting is open air, surrounded by turquoise water, and known for fresh grilled seafood, Sunday live reggae, beach games, snorkeling, and relaxed island energy. Access is by ferry from Island Harbour, with public source notes listing a short ride and a round trip ferry fee. Children are noted as riding free in the uploaded source notes. The official menu source notes list grilled crayfish, grilled lobster, catch of the day, T-bone steak, brown sugar pork ribs, grilled half chicken, grilled chicken breast, vegan curry, sharing platters, sides, desserts, and a kids menu. A 15 percent service charge is noted for food and drink menus, while the kids menu note says no service charge on kids meals. Open days and hours conflict across sources, so users should confirm directly before visiting. Sunday is the main live reggae day, while Wednesday and Thursday music is described separately in the uploaded notes. Scilly Cay is also available for private events and buyouts. Confirm current open days, ferry pickup, menu, prices, entertainment, and payment methods directly before visiting.
