- Description:
Goat Cay is a favorite snorkeling location near Fresh Creek. Located within the boundaries of the North Andros Marine Park the reef is generally healthy, and fish are abundant. Note this is a no take zone. Fishing and shelling are not allowed.
In settled weather Goat Cay is a secluded spot that offers decent protection from all directions. Once the winds exceed 15 knots there will be a swell in the anchorage regardless of the wind direction. The bottom is grassy and it is important to search for pockets of sand in which to drop anchor.
DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
