Rudder Cay Cave

Location: Southern Exumas
Lat / Lon: N 23° 52.280' / W 076° 14.380'
Depth: 9'-11'
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
The “Cave” anchorage is on the opposite side of the headland south from the Beach anchorage. As the name implies there is a large cave in the rock face of the headland that provides for an interesting photo op.
In settled easterly conditions the protection is similar to the beach anchorage, but it is more susceptible to rolling when the winds turn the south east. For those wishing to dive on the famous underwater Piano that was installed by David Copperfield it is only a short dinghy ride to the site. The holding close to the beach is poor.

Great holding in 5'-13' depending how close in you get. Exposed to S & Wbut nice protection from Easterlies. Lots of room since the 2 anchorages are contiguous. There is modest high speed boat traffic out of Barreterre/Georgetown & they stop briefly to check out the cave and the piano, but not an issue. The current is an issue and though modest, you will swing with it and should plan to snorkel the piano during slack tide. The island is private (owned by David Copperfield) so limited to MHW mark.
