Hello from Lookout Cay!
Arriving at the Port
The first place you’ll run into when you get to Lookout Cay is Mabrika Cove. Disney previously shared that “‘Mabrika’ means ‘welcome’ in Taino, the language of the Lucayans, who are considered the indigenous people of The Bahamas.” The pier between the boat and land is pretty long, so get ready for a hike — it’s about a 15 minute walk.
You have a few different beach options to choose from at Lookout Cay! There’s a family beach on the east side of the island, with activities and other amenities.

You can also find a peaceful beach with 20 premium family cabanas available to rent (four of which are double cabanas for larger groups).
And, Lookout Cay has an adult-exclusive beach (north of the family area) called Serenity Bay. This spot includes a dedicated dining area and six private cabanas (which you can reserve), and it will be exclusive to guests 18 years old and older.

Trumpet Stage
Over at Triton’s Trumpet Stage, you’ll find a center for family entertainment. The name of the gazebo is inspired by both the king from The Little Mermaid and one of the natural wonders found on Bahamian beaches: “a large, spiraled seashell commonly called ‘Triton’s Trumpet.'”
