Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reached from open water across the channel. The cove gives a lee from south, south-west and west winds, but remains exposed to the prevailing afternoon north-westerly along the island's windward side.

Practical

No services at the anchorage. The Los Angeles Yacht Club is 19.3 nautical miles to the north-east, with Holiday Harbor Cabrillo Marina close by for fuel and a berth.
