Rock Sound Harbour, Eleuthera, Bahamas

The best thing about Rock Sound Harbour is the many anchoring spots based on the wind direction and the huge number of boats that can seek protection here from bad weather. Rock Sound settlement has all the essentials to meet cruiser's needs like fuel, groceries, liquor, restaurants, laundromat and an ocean beach.

Seeking out a calm anchorage for windy weather ahead, we moved from Cabbage Cay, past Frozen and Alders Cays to Bonds Cay by slipping through the charted path at high tide to the anchorage out of the ocean swells.
