During the northeast monsoon season, a very small bay in the middle of the west coast offers good overnight holding, for one or two boats, in 10-12 metres on a sand and rock bottom. You can often find schooling bottlenose dolphins off this bay. Day trip catamarans often raft up during the day in this anchorage.

There’s a 15-minute walk across the island on a carved track to its east coast. People say this anchorage is a great spot for catching red snapper at night. Try hand lines with fresh bait.
