Great protection from north and east winds.
Good fishing for small snapper, grunts,and "flats"fish.
The water is 6 or 7 Feet at low tide almost to the shore but not suitable for anchoring if you want to avoid fouling your chain!
We picked up an old tree limb and a shopping cart on the same drop while trying to tuck in 400 feet from shore.
Try anchoring out 800 or 900 feet from shore in 10 feet or more for a cleaner bottom…. Or have your flippers and mask ready just in case

This is a nice spot for N to SE winds. You can tuck in pretty far or stay out a bit. Plenty of room for quite a few boats. Expect some residual wakes from those transiting north/south to Tahiti beach area. This is a calmer place to be than Tahiti and you can easily dinghy up. We searched the anchorage for possible snorkeling. There are rocks in the anchorage close to the homes with their own docks and sea walls. No coral growth but lots of reef fish in the area. Bottom in the anchorage is generally sand and sea grass. Lots of turtles. Look for sandy spots. Beware of sunken debris including at least two long dock pilings, a cement mooring, and other tree limbs and rocks. Don't miss the old Far Side Castle Turret while you're anchored here. Cell service TMobile was 1 bar.

A lovely shelter in N through SE wind. Excellent holding, little traffic.
