Protestant Cay is a four-acre triangular islet in the Christiansted Harbor, 200 yards north of Christiansted.[1][2] The island is home to a resort,[3] the Hotel on the Cay, which is home to a protected sand beach, small shop and beach bar.[4][5] It also has the closest beach to Downtown Christiansted.[6] With one of the ferries, which run from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m., every ten minutes, it will only take about two minutes to get there. The ride is free of charge after 4 p.m., and for guests of the Hotel on the Cay. To get on the ferry, passengers have to stand near the boardwalk in front of the King Christian Hotel and wave to the boat captain on duty.
