NORMAN'S CAY

Norman's Cay is an island 210 miles of the Florida Coast in the Bahamas Exuma chain.

Having gained notoriety in the late 70s as a staging point for drug smuggling, Norman's Cay was immortalized in Blow, a 2001 motion picture starring Johnny Depp.

From '78 through '82, Norman's Cay was the epicenter of the world's largest smuggling operation. It was the tropical playground of drug czar Carlos Lehder, partner to Pablo Escobar, founder of the Medellin Cartel.

Cocaine was flown in from Columbia by private aircraft, then reloaded into other aircraft, and flown to locations in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas.
