description
Somewhat tricky access, pay close attention to chart plotter, GPS, and depths. Several shoals in the area. But once you get in, it seems reasonably straightforward and sheltered. Open to the southwest, but many islands, islets, and reefs block most of the sea. Very nice area, but protected with a travel ban on all but three islands from April 15 to July 31. However, it can still be explored considerately from a dinghy or similar during that period. There is a noticeable shoal to the right when entering the bay from the southwest, otherwise good anchoring depth at 5-7 meters inside. A shoal at 3.2 meters and one at 1.7 meters that is far in towards the beach, so plenty of space even if it looks tight. The anchor set perfectly on the first try.
