Conception Island : Profile

Location

Conception Island is a national park with no inhabitants or facilities. Anchoring and landing is permitted but absolutely nothing must be taken or left.

Docking

There is an anchorage on the west side - West Bay - however you will have to get out of here before anything in the western semicircle starts blowing.

Another anchorage can be found around the corner at Booby Cay. Keep a good look-out for there are a lot of bombies around. This anchorage gets rolly in eastern winds and it's advisable to leave the anchorage when strong easterly to southwesterly winds are expected.

Watch the weather closely and get out of here before you get trapped in these anchorages.
