Double Breasted - Sand Cay

• Location: Little Bahama Bank
• Lat / Lon: N 27° 11.627' / W 078° 17.120'
• Depth: 8'-10'
• Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
• Description:

  Located in a narrow pool of deep water between iron shore to the south and the drying beaches of Sand Cay to the north, it is one of the few anchorages in the Bahamas where setting twin anchors is recommended because there is barely enough swinging room to accommodate the required scope. 

  The current flows into the anchorage on a rising tide and at max flood it can approach 2 kts. Swimmers should assess the current carefully before deciding to swim to the beach as it can be deceptively challenging to swim the short distance to shore.

  If you are ready to meet the challenges of this spectacular anchorage, you will be rewarded with excellent holding in crystal clear water that is a nursery for sharks, barracuda and a variety of snappers and parrot fishes. It is truly a special place for those confident in their boat handling and anchoring skills.
