Betsy Bay beach (Mayaguana)
22° 24.8′ N · 73° 8.2′ W
A wide sand beach on Mayaguana's west coast just south of Betsy Bay settlement - the landing for the west-coast anchorage and a quiet, empty stroll.
Practical
Position from the OpenStreetMap beach polygon centroid south of Betsy Bay settlement. ActiveCaptain (Betsy Bay anchorage): approach straight due east to the beach south of town; wide beach area; anchor in sand avoiding the rocky patches; access is by beach landing only. Good in E–SE trades; untenable in anything west. Weak phone signal and no shops beyond basics in the settlement.
Best for
Dinghy landing and a beach walk from the west-coast anchorage
Season
Nov–May in E–SE trades; exposed W
