Henley Cay, United States Virgin Islands

Map of the Virgin Islands National Park with Henley Cay in the northwest.

Henley Cay, previously known as Women's Cay, is an 11-acre tropical islet in the United States Virgin Islands. The cay is 300 yards in diameter and the largest and southernmost of the Durloe Cays in the Virgin Islands National Park. Henley Cay is situated 2,200 feet northwest of Turtle Bay on the island of Saint John, separated from the island by the Durloe Channel. The cay is 70 feet high and has a pier on its southern side, although it is uninhabited.[1] The only person said to be born here is Elsa Andersen, the wife of Rudy De Windt. The island is known as a snorkeling and kayaking destination,[2][3] but is also visited for its white sandy beaches.[4] Arawak Expeditions is one of several companies that offer guided kayak tours from Cruz Bay and Caneel Bay to Henley- and Lovango Cays.[5][6]
