description
Narrow entrance with strong tidal streams, but home made transit lines help keep you on the deep. I have entered with a 120' ship.
Entrance open to W, so approaching in heavy W weather is not a wise choice.
Once in the lagoon, you can anchor pretty much everywhere. See red circles in the map I have uploade. Depths are very moderate. Bottom loose clay and lots of kelp and grass, which can prevent your anchor from holding.
The inner part, east of the lagoon, is very narrow and not recommended for keel boats
On the NW shore is a bothy, a house open for campers.
