 Hope Town, Elbow Cay : Profile
Hope Town Harbour is a well-protected and popular harbour, so much so that finding a space to anchor may be difficult. Hope Town Marina has moorings for rent; contact them on VHF Ch 16. Dinghies can be landed at the foot of the spectacular Hope Town lighthouse.
It is also possible to anchor outside the harbour, between Parrot Cays and Elbow Cay in about 2m with good holding, but you are exposed to the north and south.
