Just across Fifth Avenue from the dock, mailboats and supply vessels land the goods that keep San Salvador running. This shallow quay – around 1.8 m alongside – is the island's main seaport and an official Bahamian port of entry with customs, serving a population of under 1,000 plus the local tourism trade. It handles island supply rather than commercial freight: there is no container service or international cargo call, so its freight relevance is limited. For containers, larger consignments and full customs handling, Nassau on New Providence is the practical alternative.
