  • Moorings technical services may also help out other yachtspeople;

Food & drink

  • Moorings Mariner Hotel and Restaurant (expensive but quality);
  • Chateau Mygo (superb view on the bay, ideal for cocktails, fine diner);

A must! Many boats, noisy day-charters, water doubtful in the lagoon (no swimming), but a charming place to stop over. Anchor outside the lagoon where there is more space and the water is clear.

Happy hours in all the bars; not to be missed! The path to JJ's Bar in the mangrove is impressive, as is the bill!

The anchorage in the lagoon is a hurricane shelter, but rather small and too full.

A place to power sail into (carefully), look around and admire, and then motor out slowly. Just much too touristy for most yachtsmen!
