A large state marine park bay on the western shore of Port Wells that the 1983 State Parks document calls well protected and one of the most scenic on that shore. An abandoned mine sits just outside the park boundary.
Practical
Coordinate is the OSM bay point (a USGS name position). The source is old (1983), so check the chart for depth and current kelp or rock hazards. The park page lists no facilities. No current anchorage details were found (unconfirmed).
