Practical
Position approximate: west side of Water Caye from its OpenStreetMap outline. Ventura Yacht Agency says captains prefer sheltered anchorage under Water Caye to Goff's; the Moorings' two-week route lunches at English Caye and overnights here, with free anchoring in sand and a few buoys depending on conditions; small restaurants, water and ice and trash disposal listed (Moorings itinerary page). Anchor in sand only, clear of seagrass and coral.
