description
Easy entry and easy anchoring on about 6 meters of water on low tide. Just beware the west side of the bay just before the marked anchorage. There might be rocky bottom.
Otherwise exellent hold on sand seabed.
It gets shallower very slowly as you proceed south, so you can anchor also closer to the shore.
NOT a place to be on northerly winds.
Lots of seabirds in the area, including puffins. You may also spot seals and dolphins. Views from the cliffs to the west are spectacular.
