Garden/Sandy Cay

  • Location: Abaco
  • Lat / Lon: N 26° 35.049' / W 077° 00.710'
  • Depth: 8'-10'
  • Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
  • Description:

    Garden and Sandy Cays are two private islands that are <0.50nm SW of the entrance to Man-o-War Cay. 

    Going ashore is not permitted, however the south side of the islands offer good holding and are a viable lunch stop for vessels just out for a sail. The best holding is found south of Sandy Cay in 7’-8’ of water. The north side of the cays is rocky and the sand does not return until several hundred yards off the shoreline, which limits the amount of protection that can be gained.

    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.


Holding:
Good holding in sand, avoid grassy patches
Wind Protection:
N-E
Shore Access:

Pet Friendly:
