As in the most of The Bahamas, the water around Jwycesska Island is gin clear, and there are many interesting dive sites nearby for both snorkelers and scuba divers. The island is well positioned with the cobalt blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern (windward) side and the turquoise shallow waters of the Grand Bahama Bank on the western (leeward) side. The southern end is relatively flat and has a large (about 35  acres) fresh to brackish water marsh. There is a thin freshwater lens and shallow freshwater well. The northern end of the island has a long, nearly level narrow ridge. This ridge runs in a northwest to southwest axis and is approximately in length. This is an ideal location for an airstrip. Also at this end of the island, the deeper water comes in fairly close to the shoreline making it a logical location for a protected marina. The large bay off the southwest portion of the island is shallow and not suitable as a boat anchorage.
