Spanish Wells settlement on St. Georges Cay, Bahamas

We anchored off Royal Island after our 12 hour passage from the Berry Islands and the next morning then headed off to Spanish Wells settlement on St. Georges Cay to shop anchoring off neighboring Russell Island. For the best protection from any wind direction,  Royal Island is our go to place.

Our choice of beach on the banks side or a hike across the island to the Tongue of the Ocean side beach great for beach combing.
