Pigeon Cay Anchorage

23° 42.4′ N · 77° 23.3′ W

A tiny cay amid untouched coral reefs off the south tip of Andros, where the reefs around the west side make superb snorkelling on calm days.

Practical

Position from ActiveCaptain (2012). Approach by Washerwoman's Cut, then go well west to avoid the coral reefs; all navigation is visual, with clear sky and the sun behind you. Good holding and protection from east winds only. No cell signal and no help nearby.

Pristine reef snorkelling in settled easterlies
