Little Harbour Cay is a protected anchorage with gorgeous green and navy waters, good depth, and some fun inlets to poke about on a dinghy. Leg 6: Chub Cay Estimated Mileage: 11 NM Chub Cay is a 1,000-acre spit of coral rock at the southern tip of the Berry chain.

Remote flats south of Great Harbour, from Anderson Cay to Money Cay, are excellent bonefish habitats, as are the flats around Chub Cay. The area is also a diver’s dream with coral reefs, blue holes, walls, caves and shipwrecks to explore.
