Governors Harbour - Levi Island

Location: North Eleuthera
Lat / Lon: N 25° 12.620' / W 076° 15.804'
Depth: 8'-10'
Tide: 2.5'-3.5'
Description:
Levi Island is an uninhabited rock about a mile north of Cupids Cay and in settled conditions it is an easy dinghy ride away. There is an anchorage on the east side of the island that is framed by the island itself, a shallow sandbar to the north and the mainland of Eleuthera. There is good protection from the west and north, with good holding in clear sand. For those who wish to be close to Governor’s Harbour but prefer a less crowded anchorage this is a good choice. During the winter months moving back and forth between the Levi Island anchorage and Governors Harbour is a viable strategy for dealing the clocking wind from a passing cold front

Anchor anywhere from behind Levi Island, all the way to the sandy beach along Eleuthera Island. Anchorage depths appear to be fairly accurate in Explorer Charts/Aqua Map. There's plenty of room for shallow and deep draft boats. The anchorage affords decent protection from moderate NW/W winds and excellent for N through SE winds. We found holding to be very good in front of the beach in 6-9 feet of water.

The beach provides a great place to walk, is dog friendly, and is great for collecting shells and small broken coral. There's an old jetty and some ruins up by Tom's Rocks.

As you're close to Governor's Harbour, you can easily dinghy in and cell reception was very good.

This is a nice alternative to Governor's Harbour, especially for NW/W winds.
