Baker's Bay (Great Guana) Anchorage

26° 41.4′ N · 77° 9.3′ W · approximate

The protected bight at the north-west end of Great Guana Cay, once Disney's abandoned cruise-ship stop and now fronting the private Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club — a beach stop and a first anchorage after Loggerhead Channel.

Practical

Approximate position about 150 m off the south-west shore of Guana's north-west lobe, placed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Depths average 6-9 ft (marinas.com); easy to enter from the W or SE, not recommended from the NW. Protection from N and E. Ashore is private club property: activities are limited to the beach (The Moorings). Dinghy over to Spoil (Spoil Bank) Cay to the west for shelling. Nearest public services are in the settlement 3 nm SE.
