Hatless Rock Anchorage
24° 20.7′ N · 75° 29.0′ W
A small cove north of Smith Bay with a beach and the main road just behind it. Cruisers use it as a laundry stop for Dorsett's Laundromat.
Practical
Easy approach from the west with only a couple of easy-to-spot coral heads; a bar extends on the port side as you enter, and you can tuck in to port. Good holding, but a south swell built overnight in one report. Land on the beach just north of the anchorage and walk through an open lot to the main road. Dorsett's Laundromat is about 500 yd to the right (2022). Good BTC signal.
Best for
Laundry day, in east winds
Season
