West End Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
West End sits at the far western tip of Grand Bahama, making it the only real protected anchorage on this entire stretch of island. Drop the hook around N 26° 42.295', W 078° 59.362', about 300 yards off, and you're well-positioned if you're crossing from Florida — it's roughly 55 miles from West Palm Beach. The isolation here is the draw, with Old Bahama Bay Marina nearby if you need to go ashore for supplies or a meal.
