Remote fishing village with a shallow, reef-protected bay and cross-shore wind from the right. It is often windy in summer. The water ranges from ankle- to waist-deep with the tide, with sharp shells and urchins, so wear booties. Watch for exposed reef, fishing boats and nets near the village, and trees and poles close to the small launch.
