Description

This idyllic anchorage is a little bit off the beaten track for most yachts,  who are busy coming or going from Kuah to Telaga or elsewhere and  few tour boats come here. So most times you'll have it all to yourself.
There's some nice snorkeling to be done on a coral reef at the above  island in the NW corner of the anchorage, where there's also a clean sandy beach upon which to relax, or collect driftwood and shells.

Anchor by 7/10 m on sand and mud.

No shops available. Fishing boats anchor there on occasions.
