Wildlife· Allans-Pensacola Cay· Bahamas — North

Allans-Pensacola mangrove creeks (turtles, sharks and rays)

26° 59.0′ N · 77° 41.0′ W · approximate

Dinghy and kayak rides through the mangroves and sand banks inside Allans-Pensacola turn up turtles, small sharks and rays in clear shallow water.

Practical

Approximate pin just inside the cay from the main anchorage (derived from the ActiveCaptain anchorage position). A 2023 crew explored the mangroves and sand banks by dinghy and kayak and saw many turtles, 3 ft sharks, a large ray and other fish, and saw the green flash from the anchorage. Look, don't feed or touch. Pack out your trash: the trail to the signing tree had beer cans (2023).
