    Rock bottom, no holding. Commercial vessel tourist drop off cove. Nowhere to safely anchor.

    Note this is the only island in the fathom five chain where it is permitted to go ashore (yay). However to take your own boat/kayak/dinghy requires a (free) permit available from the national park visitor center in Tobermory.

    Plenty of trails ashore

    Keep clear of the busy tourist boat traffic

    Currently (2023) the dock is out of action (storm damage) and there is no repair plans in the calendar as yet
