Fantastic anchorage just outside Pig Beach. A little dinghy trip to Stanley Cay for convient stores and a great yacht club with a legendary bar.

Great anchorage. You are not alone tho. Great cafes and bars on shore. Easy access with the dinghy. Many convenient stores and an efficient landry.

Nice to place the dinghy for a visit to the park ranger office. You can also use the beach just around the corner.

We wanted to come in for some water and fuel. That wasn't possible without paying a night fee of 115 USD. The docks, which is piles, were a bit shabby. Entrance narrow for a catamaran.

Very friendly and warm marina. The whole area is up and coming, being built up from bottom. The staff is very helpful and service minded. We only docked for water on our way north, but was sad we didn't have the time to stay.

There are several buoys missing on the way in, but you have great optical sight for navigating safely.

Nice anchorage from all wind directions. Beautiful spot, and you are all alone compared to the sound outside. Short way to town, and short way a shore.

Decent dinghy dock. A bit tricky sailing in when water is at low tide. Don't be fooled by the fishing vessel in the harbour. Use the inner basin if you can't find anything to tie up to.

A convenient concrete dock for dinghies. A small staircase to embarkation. Not much to tie the dinghy to, but you'll manage. Some local boats at the inner basin. You can drag you dinghy on shore and tie to a small fisherman shack.

Beautiful anchorage. Only for good weather, but holds up pretty good for winds from behind the island. Some swell. A lot of trash on shore, but fun to go and see what you can find of hidden treasures. An old metrology station on the top of the island. Beautiful beaches along the whole island. A bit rough to take the dinghy ashore if the waves are too big.

Great anchorage if you get close to the shoreline. We stayed during 30 knots of wind from N/NE without any difficulties. You have to optical navigate into the small boat harbour. On low tide you may touch bottom, we had to row.

In town you have lovely people. They opened the food stores and the bar for us. An ATM was set up 17th of March 2025.

No beach for playing and swimming, but the water and bottom is great from the anchorage.
