Bakers Rock/Tahiti Beach

Lat / Lon: N 26° 30.215' / W 076° 59.135'
Depth: 7'-10'
Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
Description:
Tahiti Beach is a gorgeous beach of white sand located on a drying sandbar. When the tide is out the beach is quite large and can become crowded with locals and tourists alike. During the busy season it is not uncommon to see floating bars and food kiosks within wading distance of shore serving libations and snacks to beach goers.
The atmosphere can be carnival like, and people-watchers will delight in surveying the crowds. It is also popular with boaters as it offers a beach day that can be enjoyed with only a short dinghy ride. It is a rare day when the beach is not lined with anchored vessels of all shapes and sizes.

We moved here from just north for a night. Although there was grass on the bottom the anchor bit hard. The water is deeper than other anchorages on the west side of Elbow Cay, but you will need to be cautious approaching. Good protection from east and west winds, but you will move on the fetch.
Tahiti Beach is a great place to spend time in the sun and water. You can anchor or beach your dinghy. We were lucky and the Thirsty Cuda was there serving very good conch bites.
