Salt Cay

Salt Cay is the second largest of the Turks Islands, one of the two island groups forming of the British territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean. Its area is 6.74 square kilometres. The size of the district, which also includes some unpopulated islands like Cotton Cay nearby, is 9.1 square kilometres. The population is 108, all in the district capital Balfour Town, established in 1673, on the west coast.

Salt Cay is a tiny, flat, triangular island measuring about 3.2 kilometres on a side and given over mostly to salt pans. It was once home to several hundred people, all supported by the salt industry.
