Spirit Cay
- Location: Bahamas
- Lat / Lon: N 24° 40.521' / W 076° 48.704'
- Depth: 15
- Tide: 2
- Description:
This is a nice anchorage on the inside of Long Cay that is well protected from everything except northeast wind. The depths can be tricky but not too challenging. It's worth it because hardly anyone comes out here. The water is incredibly clear and there are snorkeling or diving reefs within dinghy rides of here. There is a constant current here due to tidal shift, but not too bad. Long cay is private but nobody appears to be there.
DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
Holding:
Good if you put down in sand.
Shore Access:
Highbourne Mariana is a couple of miles by dinghy, the islands nearby appear to be uninhabited or private.
