Man Island

Location: North Eleuthera
Lat / Lon: N 25° 32.333' / W 076° 38.486'
Depth: 7-10 Feet
Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
Description:
The anchorage is sufficiently deep that it is often used by mega-yachts that wish to give their guests a beach day. There is a wooden dock at the north end of the anchorage, but Man Island is uninhabited. At the south end of the island there is an attractive sand beach. There is good holding in sand and the protection from north through southeast is very good. Even though the anchorage is open from all other directions it is surrounded by shallow water which does not provide an opportunity for waves to build. It is not an ideal candidate, but there are worse places to ride out the passage of a cold front. In settled conditions the anchorage is a wonderful alternative to the hustle and bustle of the main harbour in Dunmore Town.

This is a great spot if you want to get away from the Marinas on Harbour Island. The bottom is primarily sand and sea grass and you can drop the hook in sandy patches. The wind protection is good from the North and East and seas are flat. You have to watch your depth as you approach but we anchored in 8-10ft and had an easy stand up paddle to the beach. There are no services but the beach is beautiful and we were able to pick up service with our iPhones (AT&T). We can't wait to go back.
