Lighthouse Point Snorkel (the cays)

24° 36.8′ N · 76° 8.7′ W

Rocky cays and reef around the tip of Lighthouse Point beneath the old Bannerman lighthouse, wilder snorkelling for strong swimmers.

Practical

Position from the Eleuthera Map snorkel marker, which flags it for advanced swimmers around the cays. Atlantic swell and current wrap around the point; only in calm weather and with a dinghy standing by. The old lighthouse operated from the 1800s to the 1940s (Eleuthera Map).
