23° 46.3′ N · 76° 6.0′ W · approximate

Anchor off the derelict pier of the abandoned Perry Institute research station — hyperbaric chambers, watermakers, aircraft hangars and labs sitting exactly as they were left in 2012. The Bahamas' ghost island.

Practical

Strong current here; boats lie oddly to one another, so allow room. Dinghy to the stone steps or the concrete ramp — do NOT trust the main dock. Approach via Adderly Cut. Uninhabited; explore at your own risk.

Best for

Urbex ashore, unlike anywhere else in the Bahamas
