Norman's Cay Airport (NMC/MYEN) is a small airstrip on Norman's Cay in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas. The runway was famously used as a smuggling hub in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Carlos Lehder controlled the island. Today it mainly handles private and charter flights, offering direct access to secluded beaches, the Norman's Cay Beach Club, and surrounding cays.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors bring cash, reef-safe sunscreen, and insect repellent; there is no ATM or well-stocked store, and card payments can be spotty. Reserve a golf cart before arrival—supply is limited and peak weeks sell out.
🚖 Getting There
There is no public transit, taxi stand, or rental car agency on Norman's Cay, so arrange a golf cart, resort pickup, or boat transfer before you arrive. The airstrip is a short ride from the main marina and beach club. If you arrive by private boat, confirm dockage and clearance with the marina in advance.
