Guide
Approach and anchoring
Sand bottom. Sheltered from north-east round through east to south, open to the west and north-west.
Practical
Anchoring is allowed according to Navily; no moorings or services. The beach is a leatherback turtle nesting site: the refuge has closed it to the public every year since 1995 during the nesting and hatching season, roughly April to August, and has opened it on weekends the rest of the year.
