There is a small harbor in the NE corner of the bay by Hanavave, protected by a substantial breakwater. Inside there is a quay and launching ramp. Dinghies should be tied to the main quay wall and a stern anchor used.
Try to anchor near the quay in about 10 metres, but there is left over rubble on the seabed from when the breakwater was constructed.
Strong accelerated winds sweep down the valley and gusts of up to 50 knots or more have caused more than a few boats to drag anchor into each other in this quickly deepening anchorage (>20 metres further out) There are also parts of the bay where shallow sand exists over rock, so it is essential you check your anchor is holding tight.
There is a small quay in Omoa bay with a line where you can tie up your dinghy safely away from the big surge.
Dinghy thefts have been reported here in the past, so be sure to padlock your dinghy and outboard and raise both at night.
