Leisure Lee

26° 37.2′ N · 77° 15.9′ W

A small canal-cut housing development on Great Abaco south of Treasure Cay; the canals are too narrow to anchor in but abandoned seawalls offer a possible storm refuge.

Practical

Waterway Guide position N 26° 37.176' W 077° 15.920', depth 7-10 ft. Entrance controlling depth reported 5.5 ft, with shoaling into parts of the channel since Dorian: boats drawing 5 ft or more should wait for at least mid-tide. Anchoring is not possible in the canals; the abandoned seawalls are a storm refuge only. Real-estate listings claim over 6 ft at low tide — treat as unverified. No services.
