Hog Island - General Info
Description:
There is an anchorage area just east of Mt Hartman Bay and north-west of Hog Island.
Entry is through the Mt Hartman buoyed channel, bear right before the green/red buoy.
This is a popular anchorage as there is a good beach on Hog Island and it’s a short dinghy ride to Mt Hartman Bay and to Clarkes Court Bay and Lower Woburn for the bus to shopping downtown.
There are also numerous good snorkelling areas on the reefs surrounding this area.
Be aware of recent security scares in the area, however.

- June 2019: There is a problem here with unattended yachts being broken into. See CSSN report for further details.
