Rose Island South - Sandy Toes

Location: New Providence
Lat / Lon: N 25° 05.067' / W 077° 12.450'
Depth: 7'-9'
Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
Description:
The south anchorage at Rose Island is quiet spot large enough for 1-2 vessels just east of the docks to the Sandy Toes Beach Restaurant. There is good protection from the north through south, but it is exposed from the south to the north. In strong south winds the anchorage will get choppy. Once the tour boats from Sandy Toes leaves at 3:30PM the place is deserted.

Anchorage allowing you to escape from Nassau which is 6 miles away. Good hold in the sand. We were 20 kn from the East and the sea is flattened by the remains of a dike!!!
Go and visit the anchorage with the dinghy, obviously a construction project that failed

Sweet spot. Probably room for about 5 boats. Lots of good sand for holding. Good protection from the north. LTE 2 bars.

From just east of Porgee Light, make a heading of 11 degrees until just offshore Rose Island then follow shoreline to the anchorage. Lots of weeds so look for a sandy spot.
