Practical
noforeignland rates 'Conception Island South' 4.3/5: good for exploring, few bugs and calm nights reported, clear sand for swimming and reef nearby, but it can be rolly, especially in east winds. No published coordinates or depths were found; this point is placed about 100 m off the south shore from the OSM coastline, so sound your way in and pick sand by eye. Reefs extend south from the island for miles (Southern Boating), so approach only in good light.
