The most useful anchorage is towards the northern end of the island off the west coast at approximately 21°38.9'S, 035°26.1'E.
The bottom is sand and excellent holding in about 8 to 10m.
Another permitted anchorage is east of Paradise Island.

Some cruisers report nearby (uninhabited) Santa Carolina Island is quieter than Bazaruto and features an excellent anchorage.
