Green Turtle Cay - Black Sound

  • Location: Abacos
  • Lat / Lon: N 26° 45.537' / W 077° 19.301'
  • Depth: 5'-8'
  • Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
  • Description:

    Black Sound is the well protected lagoon on the south end of Green Turtle Cay where most of the boating facilities in the area were located. The area was severely damaged by Hurricane Dorian and some facilities have yet to be rebuilt but fuel, services and dockage are available.

    Much of Black Sound is taken up with mooring balls so anchoring within the sound is severely restricted. For vessels drawing 5' or less, there is room at southeast corner for a few boats to anchor next to the mangroves.  

    DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
