Governor’s Harbour and Anchor Bay beach are separated only by the causeway to Cupid’s Cay. You’ll see many ocean-going vessels come into the government dock in Governor’s Harbour as well as the Bo Hengy hydrofoil on Fridays and Sundays. Anchor Bay is the site of a fish fry every Friday night. These beaches are an easy walk from The Duck Inn and downtown Governor’s Harbour. Frequently you can purchase freshly caught fish (and lobster in season) from the local fishermen. Check out the concrete boat ramp at the main intersection (there was a traffic light but it’s not working right now) in the afternoons to see what’s available.
