Fiddler's Bight Anchorage (Roatán)

16° 23.7′ N · 86° 20.5′ W · approximate

A small mangrove bight between Oak Ridge and Calabash Bight on Roatán's quiet south-east coast, linked to its neighbours by dinghy channels inside the reef.

Practical

Coordinate is OpenStreetMap's 'Fiddlers Bight' bay node (in the water, about 100 m off the shore); not a sounded anchorage waypoint. The NW Caribbean wiki notes you can dinghy from Calabash Bight through the mangrove channels to Fiddler's Bight, Pandy Town, Oak Ridge and Jonesville without going outside the reef. Enter only in good light with local waypoints — reef-strewn coast. Diesel and groceries in Oak Ridge next door. We found no published depths for this bight.
