Little Majors Spot

Location: Northern Exuma
Lat / Lon: N 24° 11.570' / W 076° 27.220'
Depth: 7'-11'
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
The space “between the Majors” is a popular place in the area to ride out a cold front. There is near 360° protection from the wind, however there is a very strong current which in certain conditions can cause vessels to roll for parts of a tide cycle when the winds are strong enough to hold a vessel beam to the current. Many, however, will find the roll an acceptable trade-off to passing a cold front in a more exposed location where the chop can be incessant.

We moved here to get some protection from west winds out of Big Majors Spot on Jan. 31, 24. We were at 24°11'30.4"N 76°27'06.8"W. We had great wind protection and wakes only came from smaller boats going fast through the anchorage. Plenty of beaches to walk the dog.

Great protected spot close to Staniel Cay Yacht Club for dingy access. Easy walk to grocery and beer stores. Not as crowded as Big Major and out of the main current closer to Yacht club.

Anchored here for winds from all ways....especially West. Good protection and holding in mostly sand. Very little swell. As you enter depths will get thin fairly fast. We anchored in 5.9ft at mid tide and there were several sail boats around us with much deeper keels that did fine. Quick dinghy trip to Staniel Cay stores and Yacht Club.
