description
Idyllic, calm bay with good anchoring. Several curious seals inhabit the area and bask on land in the seaweed at low tide.
Fair but somewhat narrow entrance. The bay has a greater depth than shown on the chart. Especially the inner part which showed 4-5 meters at low tide when we were here. Shows 0.4 on my marine charts (not Antares)
