Approach: Difficult

Shelter: Medium - Alternative shelter: Tyrell Bay 2.5 M.

Night approach: No - Overnight shelter: No

Draft: No issue

Beware: Approach requires very precise pilotage!

Waypoints: From the south: 12° 25,7 N - 061° 28,8 W - From the east: 12° 26 N - 061° 27,7

Anchorage: Good holding on sand.

From the west:

Beware of the south-west point of Carriacou with an unmarked off-lying rock. Pass south of the two "Mushrooms". Once in the south of White Island, look for the television tower on the coast along 45° true. Then go around Saline Island. The tower indicated on some charts to the north-west of the island is very difficult to spot (it is usually spotted too late!)

From the west:

Spot the coral reef and steer 270° true.

Beware: do not enter the little bay to anchor, soundings are around one meter! Anchor just outside on sandy bottom 2 to 5 meters deep providing good holding.

There was a project to set up mooring buoys to protect the bottom.

Going ashore: on the beach.
