Details?

Anchorages

• The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park controls all the moorings. Anchoring is not permitted in the mooring fields. There is a $15 per day charge, but this can be waived by volunteering for work parties at the park HQ. The main mooring field, referred to as Warderick Wells, is horseshoe shaped in front of the park HQ with about 22 moorings, with good all around protection, although a strong current runs in and out of it. A second large mooring field is on the west side of the island near Emerald Rock, and is open to the west and south. There is a third small mooring field on the southeast corner of the island. Be sure to radio ahead - the Warderick Wells mooring field is the most desirable and is often full. Each morning the park staff runs a radio net where they make announcements and take reservations for mooring field changes.
