Visit TCI and Noonsite list permanent moorings off Parrot Cay for boats drawing over 8 ft and a Large Vessel Anchoring Zone here; boats over 60 ft need a DEMA anchoring permit. The resort is private. The 270-ft Parrot Cay Channel to North Caicos is silting up (ferries moved to Bellefield Landing). Mosquitoes and no-see-ums can be bad around sunset.
