Pine Cay & Fort George Cay Anchorage (Sand Dollar Cove)
21° 52.9′ N · 72° 6.0′ W · approximate
A sheltered pocket off Sand Dollar Cove between Pine Cay and Fort George Cay, with a little more depth than most of the Caicos Cays — the standard stop for charter boats and the base for the Fort George cannons and sandbars.
Practical
Coordinate approximate: just off the Sand Dollar Cove marker (Visit TCI). Visit TCI notes relatively greater depth here for larger charter vessels and lists Fort George Cay as a Large Vessel Anchoring Zone. noforeignland reviewers warn that sandbanks dry at low tide near Pine Cay Beach — eyeball navigation in good light. The Pine Cay channel past Stubbs Cay is navigable for mid-size boats at most tides. Pine Cay is private (Pine Cay Resort, no cars); Fort George Cay is a national park and historic site.
