Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is Disney Cruise Line’s newest Disney-owned and managed port of call. The island welcomed its first guests, including members of the media, on June 7, 2024. The signature island experience celebrates the spirit and culture of The Bahamas.
LOOKOUT CAY OVERVIEW
Located along the southern tip of Eleuthera, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point serves as a window to the natural beauty of The Bahamas and provides families with the opportunity to enjoy the site’s pristine beaches, explore nature, embark on adventures, and experience the broader tourism offerings in Eleuthera.
The natural environment of Lighthouse Point and the culture of Eleuthera and The Bahamas broadly influenced the design of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Disney Cruise Line worked closely with the local creative community, including master artists Kevin Cooper and Antonius Roberts, to create an experience rooted in the history and nature of The Bahamas. The new destination complements Castaway Cay, allowing families to enjoy the site’s beautiful beaches, and explore nature while also enjoying the broader tourism offerings in Eleuthera.
Working with local artists made it possible for the design and experience to be rooted in Bahamian culture and inspired by the natural beauty of the site. The site will also be open to Bahamian citizens and residents for non-commercial purposes.
Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will continue to create sustainable economic opportunities for Bahamians and strengthen the community in Eleuthera. This development created approximately 300 construction-related jobs for Bahamians – nearly tripling the number of jobs the cruise line committed to in its Heads of Agreement. Disney Cruise Line is committed to creating at least 150 operational jobs, including management roles, with benefits in various disciplines and levels and opportunities for training and advancement.
The Disney Cruise Line docks at the end of a Pier, requiring guests to walk half a mile to the Mabrika Cove Tram Stop, which takes them to the beach. If they cannot walk half a mile, DCL will provide transportation to the tram, but you must speak to guest services beforehand.

Guests who visit Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will be immersed in elements of Bahamian culture. The new island destination is inspired by Junkanoo, a longstanding Bahamian tradition celebrating the unique culture of this beautiful country.
DISNEY CHARACTERS
Acclaimed Bahamian fashion designer Theodore Elyett designed all eight looks with traditional Junkanoo style in mind, including eye-catching details like fringe, conch shells, ocean rays, and sunshine. His creations reflect the culture and colorful hues of island life.
LOOKOUT CAY DINING
Walt Disney Imagineering designed the architecture throughout Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point to resemble a series of colorful, oversized seashells scattered along the coastline.
From these beautiful decks under the shade of a shell-inspired pavilion, you’ll enjoy some tasty lunch from True-True BBQ, True-True Too BBQ, and Serenity Bay BBQ while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean and sand dunes.

ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
Disney Cruise Line long said it would only move forward with a project at Lighthouse Point if it could do so in an environmentally responsible way and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan *EMP) showed that this would be possible. The EIA found that construction and operation were not expected to result in any loss of marine or terrestrial biodiversity at a species level. You can learn more in the document displayed below.
