Ambergris Cay Anchorage (Berry Islands)

A quiet anchorage in clear sand on the bank side of Ambergris Cay, with breathtaking sand flats behind the island to explore by dinghy and rarely more than a couple of boats.
Practical
ActiveCaptain position. Deeper than charted: 7 ft at low tide at the marker; approaching from Soldier Cay to the east, the shallowest water is 0.3 nm south of High Cay with 6.5 ft at low (March 2024). Soft sand. Good protection from westerlies (Noforeignland) but exposed to the east; in an easterly blow move to Soldier Cay or Hoffman's (March 2025 review). About 4 miles west of Soldier Cay.
Best for
Solitude and sand flats in west winds
