Description:
Sunset Bay - The name says it all - Magnificent sunsets, with a sundowner drink in hand on deck. It just doesn't get any better. 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. With no other boats zooming by, this is a good spot to clean your waterline around the yacht before enjoying the next sunset. Ahhhh!!
NOTE:
No shops available. Fishing boats anchor there on occasions.
HOLDING:
Excellent holding in firm sand and mud.
DANGERS:
None - except that this is a lee shore in strong SW winds.
