Pine Cay is less than a mile wide and two miles (3 km) long, though 9 miles (14 km) of trails dot the island. Island transportation is by electric golf cart and bicycle. The main beach is 2 miles (3.2 km) long. There is an airstrip that accommodates small private aircraft.
The island is unusual in that it has 7 freshwater lakes. Some of the lakes are populated with saltwater fish originally deposited there by massive Hurricane Donna that struck the cay in 1960.[dubious ]
