Shelter by wind direction

Sheltered from every direction.

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.

Here, shelter depends on tonight's wind. Seadromy reads the forecast and tells you before you leave.

Satellite imagery shows light, sandy patches around the anchoring spot.

Good holding.

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 1.2 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.

Marked on the nautical chart as: harbour.

Gravel beach.

A good gateway to visit the island.

A remarkable site can be reached from here.
