From the north, pass between the island and the unmarked Jack A Dan. The red buoy indicated on charts is very small and can only be spotted very late, however, the reef is quite visible from far away. Keep away from the eastern point of the island.
From the west, don't steer toward the island before having made out the reef stretching south-west of the island.
The bottom rises sharply to the beach. Anchor as near as possible on the sandy bottom of good bottom. Check on your swinging room in view of the number of boats anchored.
Going ashore: On the beach. It's also possible to swim across, but beware of the current. Going ashore at night is prohibited (to stop stealing coconut plants!)
