Description:
The name..."The Hole In The Wall" clearly comes from the opening as seen above. Of all the anchorages, this one is totally "bullet proof " ...see for yourself.....there's not a ripple on the water. No matter what wind strength or direction, it's always calm in here. This photo is taken from where there's a branch in the river that goes to Rahmad's Floating Restaurant and Fish Farm. Long term rental of moorings for mainly absentee owners can be arranged with Rahmad. To go to Kuah, take 1nm dinghy ride to Kilim Jetty, then walk 300 mtr to main road and flag down a taxi for a RM3 'share-fare' to Kuah town. Most mornings, several tour boats buzz by taking tourists to "eagle feeding". You might want to follow in your dinghy to see this activity.
NOTE:
There are no shops for provisioning in this area.
HOLDING:
Good holding in firm mud. Not much swinging room.
DANGERS:
Current can be strong at springs. Take care if swimming.
