About this Anchorage

Very well protected anchorage with plenty of exploring in the dinghy or ashore. We stayed a couple nights here in unsettled weather, and had a dinghy ride through the surrounding islands.

We didn't go ashore to the village, but our neighbours did and had a warm welcome.

Anchoring Notes

Anchored in 35ft - there was a mooring ball to avoid, but otherwise an easy anchoring option. We approached mid channel and you can anchor pretty much anywhere in between the islands, but leave space for the frequent ferry and boat traffic.
