The marina also offers boat repair and maintenance services, with two travel lifts capable of handling large vessels. Beyond boating facilities, Nanny Cay features a hotel, waterfront townhouses, restaurants, shops, a small supermarket, a dive shop, a water sports center, and a gym and spa.While Nanny Cay is known for its marina, it also offers a cozy, artificial beach protected by breakwaters.
