• Description:

  Morgan’s Bluff is a favorite stop for cruisers lookin​g for a sheltered spot to stop and rest enroute to Nassau or the Exumas. It is also a port of entry and over the years it has gained a reputation of being an informal, sand-between-the-toes sort of place where clearing in was a laid back formality treated as important and necessary, but without urgency. 

  The anchorage is quite large, but there are only a few places where holding is adequate. There is good protection from east northeast through southwest but exposed to all other directions. When the wind shifts to the west or north the entire anchorage is transformed into a washtub of confused waves that in winds over 20 knots can cause well set anchors to drag. If there is any hint of a cold front you should either leave the area entirely or move into the public dock inside the basin space permitting.

  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.
