Entrance Isle Anchorage
Just north of the Teafua Pass a pair of uninhabited islets "Coal" & "Entrance" both with pink sand beaches, well tree'd, and with a connecting reef, provide good protection all around, but best protection from the West and North West. Anchor in 12-16m, approach from the east. White sand bottom, good holding, lots of swinging room. Beautiful location.
