Port Nelson is located on the southwestern shore of the island. The government dock suffered extensive damage during Hurricane Joaquin and little remains now.
Yachts can anchor outside the main channel. The bottom is sand with good holding and it's a beautiful anchorage with very clear water, however, is open to the south and west.
Take care of landing the dinghy on the sand bar as the sand is very soft in places. A better place to land is on the beach next to the ruined jetty on the seaward side of the dune, in the middle of the bay.
Very few people now live on the island.
