Bell Island-East

Location: Northern Exuma
Lat / Lon: N 24° 18.540' / W 076° 33.040'
Depth: 8'-10'
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
Tucked into a small cove off a well-groomed private beach there is good holding and acceptable protection from all directions. It is a viable candidate for riding out a cold front, however there is only room for one vessel. The protection in the anchorage is derived from the surrounding cays however a strong swell from Exuma Sound will cause some rolling. The mooring field in Cambridge Cay is a better choice for heavy weather however it will fill quickly when bad weather is forecast.

Beautiful anchorage with good 360 protection. ( Better S W N than East) Can get rolly especially in an Easterly. No beach access as Bell Island is private. Room for at least a dozen boats!
