Foster's Cove Anchorage
18° 20.9′ N · 76° 50.6′ W
A little-known, isolated cove facing north-west between Port Antonio and Port Maria, reached through a 300 ft channel between reefs.
Practical
Position is Virgintino's waypoint directly offshore of the cove (18 20.92N, 076 50.60W). Transit the channel (about 300 ft wide, reefs both sides) and anchor in 10 ft, sand, good holding. The bluff on the east side gives adequate protection in normal NE winds; not the place to be in a norther. No facilities.
Best for
Quiet overnight away from towns
