Bird Cay Beach Anchorage

25° 23.8′ N · 77° 49.2′ W

A sandy anchorage off a beach at the bottom of the Berries that is one of the few spots with real shelter from northerlies.

Practical

ActiveCaptain position. Coral heads on the approach from the west side of the beach (beware coming from Chub): point straight in; plenty of depth for deep keels, shoaling quickly close in. Excellent sand holding: a 2018 boat sat out 25-35 kt NW-N overnight. Not good from below east round to west. Beach good for dogs.
