Salt Pond Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Salt Pond sits in a working anchorage on Long Island where you'll share the water with a local fishing fleet, giving the place an authentically Bahamian feel rather than a tourist-polished vibe. You can drop anchor here — no mooring balls required — positioned south of the Long Island Petroleum fuel dock and north of the shallows around Sandy Cay. It's a lived-in, unhurried spot that gives you a real sense of island life rather than a resort scene.
