Good entrance from the south, even though it looks daunting. 10m depth.
Blowing 10ms S/SE on the outside and almost calm inside.
A bit tricky with anchoring due to winding topography, a large workboat in the middle, and various rafts/buoys here and there. But room for 5-10 boats spread around.
10m depth in the south, 8m in the north. Unsure about the bottom conditions due to no wind.
Lots of people, so not a natural gem, but a nice place. There is a raft in the middle with lots of waste containers - I assume a place where you can dispose of waste.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Entry possible from two sides; the inlet from the SW has a depth of 7m although it is narrow. All sailboats pass here. The inlet from the NW is used by some motorboats, requiring some slalom maneuvers between shallows. For those familiar with the area.
There can be some swell in the bay with wind from the NW, but generally well sheltered from all winds, especially in the northern part of the bay.
Anchoring: Mooring to land with stern anchor is possible around almost the entire bay. Particularly popular in the northern part of the bay, and possibly in the SW. Some alongside berths for sailboats along the rock face in the NE. Room for four to five boats at anchor. Anchoring on clay, good holding. Some have reported somewhat poorer holding at anchor in the SW, but this has not been experienced by the undersigned. Anchoring depth 7-9m.
The area: Beautiful and protected bay and very popular. Unfortunately, it often gets too noisy with parties and commotion late into the night on weekends in the middle of the season.
