West End Anchorage

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.
