Shearpin Cay/Tilloo Bank

Lat / Lon: N 26° 26.550' / W 076° 59.450'
Depth: 8'-12'
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
Anywhere along the shores of Tilloo Cay provides acceptable protection for winds from the east. The holding is good and there is surprisingly little chop even in easterly winds as high as 20 knots. If the winds are south of east an interesting anchorage is the area south of Shearpin Cay on the south end of Tilloo where the Tilloo Bank will block wave action.
It is a large area and even if there are neighboring vessels anchored there is little reason to be within 0.25nm another vessel.

Tilloo Cay South is a beautiful spot to relax. Holding is good in sand and grass but check anchor to ensure set. Protected from east winds. The beach is perfect for walks and the sandbars are worth exploring. We always see stingrays, dolphins, and star fish here. It can be busy with weekend boaters also enjoying the sand bar. Good BTC and Aliv cell service with 3 bars of voice and good data. No Wi-Fi.
