George Town - The Fish Fry

Location: Exumas
Lat / Lon: N 23° 30.842' / W 075° 46.825'
Depth: 7'-9'
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
Vessels wishing to visit the Fish Fry or the Government Clinic, which is directly across the road, can anchor off the beach. The anchorage is exposed to prevailing winds, and it can get choppy in winds over 20 knots. In settled conditions however it is far and more convenient to dinghy out to an anchored boat than it is to walk the shoulderless Queen’s Highway especially if its after dark!

We moved the boat over for the day. The charts are hit and miss on the soundings. Go slow and if possible, have a lookout on the bow. The bottom is mostly sand so if you bump it shouldn't be catastrophic. During a westerly blow, the area becomes crowded with boats. Access to shore is by beaching a dinghy. You can get a meal at the fish fry, which booth is open what yours is random. Just north around the point is Splash, a bar with good salads and sandwiches. Supplies are a bit of a dinghy ride south at George Town. Stocking island across the harbor has a selection of resorts with restaurants and two beach bars.
