Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small wave
Water hazards: None
Water quality: Crystal clear
Infos: Great playground for kitesurfers. Wherever the wind blows offshore, the water is flat. In the middle of the bay, nice 0.5-1m waves roll in the bay for quiet a long way, so excellent for wave beginners to get several tacks. The complete bay is shallow. Perfect for beginners. Just paradise like colors, green and crystal clear water. Nice flat water, fun for speed runs and extremely flat at the point, east of the channel, which leads to another bay behind the cays. Here you will find another playground with shallow and flat/choppy water. Expect some current in the channel. Very safe riding in the big bay.
Beach type & size: Sand - Medium
Infos: Around the complete bay a very nice, soft sandy beach. Lots of space, normally few to no people around. The west part of the bay is the `Man of War Cay`, the east part the `Moriah Cay`. The point at the Moriah Cay offers the most space, big sandy area.

Behind the bay, through the channel towards Great Exuma, the wind will be more consistent again than on the point, but gusty behind the small island upwind. All directions work here.
Best months: January, February, March, April, October, November, December
