Rum Cay Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop the hook off Cotton Field Point in good holding sand and you've got one of the Bahamas' more peaceful anchorages to yourself — Rum Cay sees a fraction of the traffic of its neighbours. Depths run 6–9 feet near Port Nelson, with a shiny-roofed house as a handy visual reference. The snorkelling just off the anchorage is genuinely worth the detour, and the white sand beach stretching along the shore makes it hard to leave quickly.
