Gonave Channel

The waters around Gonâve Island lie within the Gulf of Gonâve, the great inlet on the western side of Hispaniola. The island divides the gulf into northern and southern channels, with the mainland coast enclosing the waters to the east. Beyond the gulf, the sea opens towards the Windward Passage between Hispaniola and Cuba. Mountainous shores and the island’s long outline shape navigation through the gulf.
