YANNEKEE BAY (SOUTHERN TIP)

12 miles from Anakena Bay

YANNEKEE BAY. 11° 27.101N, 98°12.816E

Another ideal anchorage for jungle walks, kayaking and wildlife viewing. Anchor in 5-7 metres on sand off a gently shelving beach. This is a great place for exploratory trips by dinghy.

The northern island group east of Dommel has spectacular limestone karsts similar to Phang Nga Bay in Thailand. If you look carefully you will find a lagoon hidden inside the island with access through caves that you can swim through.

Pandemic impact

The current edition was published just a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic started to bite. We have not attempted to update this online version (or the new ebook version) as some situations change rapidly, while others are subject to unverifiable rumour.

So, if you are cruising now, please verify information before setting out for your destination and please understand that amenities ashore may be less than posted here or in the book. As 'compensation', you'll find many islands and beaches in the kind of pristine condition not seen for many years in the more developed tourist destinations.
