Abrahams Bay-Guano Point (East End)

Location: Mayaguana
Lat / Lon: N 22° 21.200' / W 072° 59.100'
Depth: 6.5 feet
Description:
At the east end anchorage, the closer you are to the beach, the more quickly it shoals. This anchorage is open to wind from southeast through to southwest. However, the reef breaks up some of the wave action. Don not head toward the Abrahams Bay concrete dock to the northeast. Despite a scar with the semblance of a channel carved by a local fishing boat, the dock is only approachable by dinghy. At low tide, you will find barely a 1 foot of water here. Do not be fooled by the fishing boat if it is at the dock. Abrahams Bay is an official port of entry, but Customs and Immigration may be absent. They commute from Great Inagua.

Abrahams Bay is no longer a port of entry. The holding is excellent with a sand bottom and scattered coral heads. Tidal range is 3-4 feet. Not much wind protection, but waves are usually under 2ft. Trash and water are available at the dinghy dock. Raise your prop as you approach the markers at low tide. Groceries are limited, but within walking distance. Hire a car to explore the island. Gas or diesel is available by car, or can be delivered.
