Betsy Bay settlement services (Mayaguana)
22° 25.1′ N · 73° 8.0′ W · approximate
Mayaguana's smallest settlement, on the west coast, with a lunch spot and local craftswomen making shell jewellery and thatch-straw hats - and an annual homecoming festival.
Practical
Coordinate is the GeoNames point for Betsy Bay settlement. Food: L&L Enterprises, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm (Ministry of Tourism). Crafts: Linda Charlton (shell craft) and Shaneka Murphy (thatch-straw hats and bags), both Ministry of Tourism listings. No shops for provisioning beyond basics, no fuel and weak cell signal (ActiveCaptain). The anchorage off town has big rocks - find clean sand. Betsy Bay hosts an annual homecoming festival (Wikipedia, Bahamas.com).
