Frigate Island (Ashton)

Glassy flat water on the lee side of the isthmus by Ashton, reached by boat or downwinder. The wind blows offshore and gets gusty in N/NE winds, so beginners need boat cover. Watch for shallow rocks, coral heads and the remains of the old marina walkway; the launch beach is narrow.
