Description:

There is an anchorage area just east of Mt Hartman Bay and north-west of Hog Island.

This is a popular anchorage as there is a good beach on Hog Island and it’s a short dinghy ride to Mt Hartman Bay and to Clarkes Court Bay and Lower Woburn for the bus to shopping downtown.

Entrance Notes and Cautions:

Entry is through the Mt Hartman buoyed channel, bear right before the green/red buoy.

Cruiser Highlights:

There are numerous good snorkelling areas on the reefs in this area.

Security:

As with many other popular anchorages in the Caribbean, be aware of the security situation in the area and ensure that where possible, all equipment, dinghies etc are lifted and securely locked.
