Practical
Position approximate: west (lee) side of the northern Long Coco Caye on OpenStreetMap. No moorings, no facilities (Moorings eGuide). A string of patch reefs runs off the SW point with a deep drop-off on the east. SAIL magazine notes a 4 ft shoal and hazards in the channel between Cary Caye and the South Long Cocoa Cayes. King Lewey's Caye, a pirate-themed resort on the Slasher Sandbore about 12 miles from Placencia, makes a lunch stop en route (US$10 landing fee waived for diners; overnight only in very settled weather).
