For those who prefer to be at anchor

Checking in at Morgan’s Bluff
Checking in at Morgan’s Bluff is an easy alternative for those who prefer to be at anchor and would like to avoid Chub Cay. Morgan’s Bluff has a very easy, straightforward entrance and a large anchorage. To check in, just dinghy in to Willie’s Bar, enjoy a cold one, and they will call the customs and immigration officer from the airport for you. Morgan’s Bluff has an abundance of free fresh water. It can be jerry canned out from the inner harbor, or, if you are brave enough, tie up to the big concrete dock when the water tanker leaves and fill your tanks from the hose there.

West Bay
We stopped in at West Bay, on the west end of New Providence. This is a large bay with a broad opening, and it’s only a quick hop from Morgan’s Bluff. There’s a public beach on the south part of the bay, but the rest of the shore is off limits – all private houses, and one very odd-looking resort on the north point.
