• Description:

  (aka "Gullah Gullah island), 24 41.175N, 081 05.441W Nice day anchorage to play on the island. Good overnight anchorage if winds and weather are OK. Anchor just to the east of the island. Once you learn the area you can get in closer, south of the island, and watch for a ledge that starts about halfway to the west, just S of the island. Come on the Island from the North side. The south (ocean) side has LOTS of SHARP limestone rocks plus urchins. Don't land from that side. SNORKELING: On the North and West sides of the Islands in 10' or less are little coral outcroppings to snorkel - lots of Juvenile fish.
