Cistern Cay South Anchorage
25° 45.9′ N · 77° 53.0′ W
A grassy pocket south of Cistern Cay that gives good protection from west through north to east when a strong norther comes through.
Practical
ActiveCaptain position. Thick grass with a few sandy patches; search for sand. No noticeable current. Ferries between Great Harbour Cay and CocoCay run from early morning until after dark, so show a good anchor light. Easy dinghy to the government dock and the stores. The reviewer caught a mutton snapper drifting between the rocks (April 2024). Cistern Cay itself is private.
