Gumelemi Cay is a tiny island directly north of the Baker's Bay tip of Great Guana Cay in The Bahamas. The island is a sea turtle nesting ground. Loggerhead sea turtles, hawksbill sea turtles and green sea turtles nest on the 2acres island.

Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club, which owns the island and the 600acres adjacent to it, plans to develop the acreage into six lots, despite opposition from Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society, Caribbean Conservation Corps and the Archie Carr Center.
