Bay consists of a crescent formed by four islands in the southern most tip of Maleolap Atoll, all linked by a wide reef. Anchor in 10-12m, mixed sand and coral bottom. Good protection 340 to 180 degrees. Unprotected from 180 to 340 except by outer lagoon reef, not a haven in westerly breezes. Lovely village/people ashore.
