Elizabeth Harbor - Georgetown Elizabeth Harbor is a channel 9 miles long running NW to SE between the barrier islands and the south end of Great Exuma Island. It is mostly shallow, no more than 20 feet deep anywhere - mostly 6 to 12 feet, with a sandy bottom. The entrances at each end require careful navigation between reefs and shoals, study the detail charts and guide-book instructions carefully before entering. The Great Exuma Island shore is unattractive. Georgetown is the largest town on the island and provides a few small hotels, a small marina with fuel and water and a well stocked supermarket with it's own dinghy dock in a sheltered lagoon.
Air service enables an exchange of crews.
Island, are the only justification for inclusion in my list of Favorite Destinations. Stocking Island offers beautiful sandy beaches, both along the Harbor as well as on the ocean side. There is little attractive snorkeling. During the winter months Elizabeth Harbor becomes crowded because, for many, it is the end of a Bahamian cruise. After a few weeks relaxation, most turn around to go back north.
