Guide
Approach and anchoring
Sheltered from north round through east to south, open to the west. Sand bottom. The inner cove is crowded with moorings, so there is more room to anchor further out, on sand clear of seagrass and coral.
Practical
Paid moorings fill up, so arrive early. Pizza Pi, a floating pizza restaurant moored in the cove, serves boats and delivers by dinghy. The reef along the shore is used for snorkelling, and taking any marine life inside the reserve needs a DPNR permit.
