Long Cay Anchorage (Fresh Creek)
24° 44.4′ N · 77° 46.8′ W
A protected anchorage just north of the Fresh Creek entrance, out of the creek's current, with a clean sandy bottom and beaches nearby.
Practical
Position from ActiveCaptain. About 2.4 m (8 ft) over sand, protected all round with no current (ActiveCaptain). Come in through the marked Fresh Creek reef channel, then follow deeper water north; no coral in the approach or anchorage, and Garmin and Navionics charts are reported accurate. A 2024 reviewer dragged when anchored about 300 yards further west in 6 ft as the wind rose, then held well at the marked spot: set the anchor hard. Dinghy to the two docks in Fresh Creek. Strong BTC signal. Groceries and liquor stores in Fresh Creek.

Avoiding Fresh Creek's current while still being a short dinghy ride from town
