Guide
Approach and anchoring
Anchorage gives shelter from north-west through south-west winds but lies open to the south and east. Holding varies with the patchy sand and rock bottom, so set the anchor on a clear sand patch and check it is well dug in before settling.
Practical
No facilities ashore. The cove is part of Channel Islands National Park, where boaters carry all supplies aboard and leave no trace.
