These islands offer several anchorages and are worth at least a day visit on your voyage. The north and south islands are joined, except at HW by a sandbar that is an inviting beach. The drop-off is rapid at the head of Buccaneer Bay, so anchoring is convenient. There are three anchorages in Buccaneer Bay, which lies between the north and south islands. One is behind the group of four islands on the E as you enter the bay. A second is adjacent to the beach off of Buccaneer Bay Marine Park, near the lagoon mouth. In high summer, there is a lot boating and water-skiing activity in the Bay, so you might choose the more secluded anchorages. The third is in the small bay at the SE end of the bay. It is the most weather-proof, but it contains a private marina. On the outside of the south island are two tiny coves surrounded by Simson Marine Park. They are easily found when you round the SE end of the island. The more southern cove has good holding, 3-6 metres depth and is protected except from the SE. The northern cove is exposed in several directions and is mainly used temporarily while exploring the park.
