A bay on South Esther Island, at the junction of Wells Passage and Port Wells, that the 1983 State Parks document names as the preferred of the two anchorages in the park. The Wally H. Noerenberg salmon hatchery is nearby.
Practical
Coordinate is the OSM bay point (a USGS name position). The 1983 document names Lake Bay and Quillian Bay as the anchorages, with Quillian preferred; Lake Bay is just to the west. State Parks lists campsites and trails at South Esther Island. Depths and holding ground are not in the sources; check the chart.
