Rock Sound Harbour (West)

• Location: South Eleuthera
• Lat / Lon: N 24° 52.400' / W 076° 11.150'
• Depth: 6'-8'
• Tide: 2.0'-3.5'
• Description:

  The western shore of Rock Sound Harbour is unpopulated and remote with only the narrowest bits of beach to where it is possible to land a dinghy if needed. Going beyond the beach, however, will require some agility as the rocks and thorn bushes are not the most welcoming. The shore nevertheless provides excellent protection from strong west winds and some consideration should be given to moving in the event a strong west wind is forecast. It is possible to anchor anywhere between the Duecy Rocks and a grouping of three smaller rocks about 1.5 nm to the north. Protection improves the farther north you lay but the water is shallower.  

  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.
