Deadman's Cay groceries and fuel

23° 8.5′ N · 75° 4.7′ W · approximate

Deadman's Cay is the island's commercial centre, with grocery stores, take-aways, liquor stores, fuel stations and the main police station strung along the Queen's Highway.

Practical

Position is an OpenStreetMap fuel station on the Queen's Highway south of Deadman's Cay (unnamed on the map). Wikipedia calls Deadman's Cay (population 328) the major settlement at the centre of the island. There is no anchorage close by for keelboats (shallow banks), so cruisers reach it by car from Thompson Bay or Clarence Town (Flying Fish Marina's listing says the nearest full grocery is about 16 miles away). The nearest public laundry for Clarence Town is in Hamilton's.
