description
Very beautiful area with numerous chalk-white sandy beaches. Nature conservation area, but it is permitted to go ashore on many of the islands even during the nesting season. Check the map on Naturbase online to get it right.
It's easiest to enter from the SE. Follow a natural channel with sandbanks on each side. There is a deep 'hole' of 25 meters in the middle of the area, but good anchoring opportunities before and after.
Anchor on a sandy bottom at 9-15 meters. Good holding ground. No swell or waves from traffic. Well protected from wind from the N and NE.
