This is one of the largest islands in the Broken Island group, located in the mouth of Barkley Sound. Approach is from the E via Coaster Channel or from S between Gilbert Island and a reef with minimum depth of 3 m. The bay is considered by some to be the best big boat anchorage in the Broken Island group. The small bay in the south-east corner of the bay is best protected and most skippers prefer to stern tie. Secure except during strong westerlies. Effington is an interesting island to explore, with beaches, remains of an Aboriginal village and a sea cave on the island’s east side.
