• Lat / Lon: N 26° 54.189' / W 077° 28.109'
• Depth: 4-6
• Tide: 1
• Description:

  Beautiful large lagoon bay. Tricky entry to deeper center water due to sand bar, but quite doable in draft not exceeding four feet and a keen eye. Protected from southerly winds. Not a good place to be in stronger northerly winds. Very picturesque Bahamian blue over white sand. Masses of sand dollars (pansy shells) scattered in the lagoon. The bay is provide some northern/north east protection by a fringe of outcroppings with some passable gaps between (and some not passable).

  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.

Only one house on a private island east of the bay which is likely not appreciative of explorers. That said there is a large extent of white beach along southerly shore fringed with casuarina trees. This is on the east side of the southern part of deserte
