Black Rock is an isolated shoal cay in the shallow waters of the Caicos Banks. The cay is located south of Middle Caicos, and southeast of the Middle Caicos Ocean Hole.
Much of the low-elevation Black Rock consists of soft limestone, which has taken on a black patina from algae and the weather. The cay’s solitary position is halfway between Providenciales and South Caicos, so it’s often used as a reference point when traveling across the Caicos Banks.
