A beautiful small cay within the Exuma National Park in the [[Bahamas]]. No services or amenities. Good protection from the East, open from the North West. There is one park service mooring noted below. Tie off this mooring then visit the "Aquarium" a sea garden off the small island to the North West of O'Brien's. There are two dinghy moorings to the south of this island. Beautiful fishes and corals. On the bottom West of the park services mooring is the wreck of a plane marked by a yellow float - also an interesting snorkel site.
