Warderick Wells : Profile

Location

The Warderick Wells are part of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. To enter the park you have to go to the Mooring area near the park headquarters and pay a mooring fee to stay.

The island is covered by walking trails and has a huge variety of wildlife.

Docking

In the north and south of the Warderick Wells Cays moorings have been laid out which are controlled by the wardens, and you are not allowed to anchor there.

The mooring fees are around $20/day for a medium sized boat (up to 55’).

The Cays are surrounded by numerous sand banks and bores. These are continuously shifting which means you have to keep a sharp lookout.
