Point Set Rock

26° 34.2′ N · 77° 0.7′ W

A tiny rock islet in the Sea of Abaco just north-east of Matt Lowe's Cay, sitting on the open-water stretch boats cross between Marsh Harbour, Man-O-War Cay and Hope Town. It is a sighting mark for the crossing, not a destination.

Practical

Coordinate is the islet as mapped on OpenStreetMap (way 199121957, tagged place=islet). Matt Lowe's Cay (Montage Cay) lies about 0.3 nm to the south-west (OpenStreetMap way 22583735). We found no published depths, light or anchorage details for the rock itself, so give it a wide berth and follow your chart's route lines for the Marsh Harbour to Man-O-War and Hope Town legs; do not cut close in poor light. No landing or facilities.
