Approach and anchoring
Sheltered from west round through north to east, open to the south, so any southerly swell rolls straight in. Sand bottom. Anchoring is prohibited: in Virgin Islands National Park it is only allowed in the two designated anchorages, offshore Francis Bay and off Lind Point.
Practical
Pick up an NPS mooring, white with blue stripes, for boats up to 60 feet. Overnight use costs USD 26 a night, paid in advance, with at most 7 nights per bay and 30 a year. There is a beach ashore.
Ashore
The ruins of the Reef Bay sugar factory stand near the shore. From there the Reef Bay Trail climbs about 3 miles to Centerline Road, with a short spur to the petroglyphs.
