Review for White Islands
Reviewed by: Matt Claiborne, Dulcinea, on Sep 26, 2023
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 41'
Draft: 5.0'Overall Rating:5Holding:4Wind Protection:2Current Flow:4Wake Protection:3Scenic Beauty:5Ease of Shopping:1Shore Access:5Pet Friendly:5Cell Service:3WiFi:1Anchor in 20 feet MLW in the center between the islands. Good holding in sandy mud. The entrance is easy from the south and well charted.
The area is much more exposed to wind and swell at high tide than the charts make it look, but it's lovely and snug at low tide. Still, you'll get some wraparound swell from any southwest wave action at all times. There is a fairly strong reversing tidal current running through here. All in all, it's a more comfortable lunch stop than an overnight anchorage. If I were to overnight, I'd put out a Bahamian mooring with two anchors.
It's a beautiful area, with gorgeous sandy beaches that uncover with the tide. Lots of locals stop by to swim and picnic. Big White and Big Green Islands are open to the public. Little White and Little Green are private.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
