Delaporte Bay (Cable Beach) Anchorage

25° 4.8′ N · 77° 25.7′ W

The west end of the Cable Beach bay, off the Baha Mar and Cable Beach resorts, with sparkling clear water and a short walk from Sandyport to a SuperValue supermarket and phone shops. A convenience stop rather than a night's rest.

Practical

Waterway Guide position N 25°04.780' W 077°25.679'; depths 10-15 ft. Good holding in sand. Protected SE through WSW only; exposed W through NE. Delaport Point gives little westerly shelter and afternoon sea breezes build a chop; expect an ever-present swell. Land on the beach at Sandyport and walk to the mall (Super Value supermarket, Aliv and BTC phone stores, shops, restaurants, service station). Lets you run errands without entering Nassau Harbour.
