The anchorage is at the south-east corner of the harbour alongside a long causeway built on concrete pilings.  The depth is mostly between 20 and 25 metres with shallower patches of coral. Take care to set the anchor is as smooth a patch as you can find.

The small floating dock belonging to the Navy has been removed (2017). The alternative dinghy landings are:-

1) The fixed dock off the causeway. Tie bow & stern off either end and to the causeway (not the face). You cannot drop a stern anchor as coral surrounds the dock.

2) At the concrete steps on the end of the ferry dock, just east of the commercial dock. Stay close to the steps, out of the way of ferries.

3) At the concrete steps at the back of the fish market. This cuts the walk short if just going to the fish market. Fishing boats usually take up the space off the front of the steps but you can tie in the gap behind.

4) Within the taxi-boat basin, there are 2 wood lattices affixed to the walls. Tie off in the corner and climb the lattice and walk the wall.
