Egg Island Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Egg Island sits just off the northern tip of Eleuthera, marking the gateway between the Atlantic and the calm Bahamian banks near Spanish Wells. You'll anchor in relatively protected waters with a striking mix of turquoise shallows and open ocean views stretching in every direction. The isolation here is real — no facilities, no crowds, just a quiet overnight stop with strong currents to watch as you approach. Spanish Wells itself is only a short dinghy ride away if you want to explore one of the most tidy, self-sufficient island communities in the Bahamas.
