Five Cays is a settlement on the island of Providenciales (known locally as Provo) in the Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory. It is located on the south coast of the island,[2] adjacent to the Providenciales International Airport. Along with The Bight and Blue Hills, Five Cays is one of the three original settlements on Provo.[3]
Five Cays is named for the five small limestone islands (cays)[4] that can be seen offshore from the settlement,[5] guarding Cooper Jack Bay. The five cays include: Middle Cay, Bay Cay, Sim Cay, Pusey Cay, and William Cay.[2]
