• Location: Eleuthera

• Depth: 7'-10'
• Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
• Description:

  There is an anchorage off of the small beach on the west side of Egg Island that provides good holding and reasonable protection from easterly winds. The anchorage is wide open to all other directions and in winds above 15 knots from any direction there will be a swell in the anchorage. The anchorage will be of interest to boaters wishing to get an early start from the north end of Eleuthera to Abaco, but do not wish to tackle the notoriously tricky cuts along the Devils Backbone. In settled conditions this is a pretty, secluded anchorage that provides great sunsets over the NE Providence Channel.

  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.
