Mangrove Cay Club
About This Museum
Tucked away in the serene heart of the Bahamas, the Mangrove Cay Club feels less like a constructed museum and more like a living, breathing part of Moxey Town's history. It doesn't shout for attention but instead whispers stories of generations who have lived in harmony with these turquoise waters and tangled mangrove forests. You get the sense that you're walking through a collective family album, where every weathered oar and hand-knotted fishing net has a tale to tell. The entire space is an immersive tribute to a way of life defined by the sea.
Collection Highlights
The true exhibits here are the traditions themselves: perhaps a beautifully crafted wooden skiff pulled up on shore, its hull telling of countless journeys, or a local artisan demonstrating the quiet skill of weaving straw into baskets. Don't be surprised to find a display of antique conch shells, each one a artifact from the daily rhythm of island sustenance.
Visitor Information
Come ready to simply be, not just to see. It's best to check ahead for any seasonal demonstrations or storytelling sessions. Wear comfortable shoes for a gentle stroll through the grounds, and leave plenty of time to just sit and absorb the peaceful atmosphere.
Architecture & Building
The club embraces a classic Bahamian vernacular, with soft-hued clapboard buildings and wide, shaded verandas designed to catch the ocean breeze. It feels unpretentious and organic, as if it grew naturally from the sandy soil.
