Little Whale Cay

Location: Berry Islands, Bahamas
Lat / Lon: N 25° 26.925' / W 077° 45.924'
Depth: 7'-10'
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
Little Whale Cay is a private resort and landing is not permitted. The cay is surrounded by sand and it is possible to anchor anywhere along the west side, although the best protection in silty sand is found in front of the docks on the south side of the cay. The water is shallow in this area and vessels drawing more than 5.5’ should anchor along the more exposed northwest side of the cay. The anchorage is a good choice for vessels that need to wait for either the tide or better light to transit the channel into the anchorage on the west side of Bonds Cay. It is also a viable point of return for vessels that decide the standing wave outside the cut is too large for comfort and prefer to retreat to safety.

We stayed here on our way to Nassau. The island is private and has personnel that give you the evil eye if you make moves to go ashore. The current was strong as was the wrap around swell in the easterly winds. One of the cats next to us moved about 1/2 mile south and seemed to find a much more protected location. If we were headed this way again we would look for someplace else.
