The roomy main basin of Dolphin Bay: mud bottom, ample swinging room and almost no traffic once the tour boats leave.
Practical
Position is the GeoNames lagoon centre point — confirm depth before dropping. Cruiser reports: 7–8 m, good holding in mud, calm, ample space, minimal boat traffic, dolphins (noforeignland). Nearby: Green Acres Chocolate Farm on the south shore (tours 10am and 2pm) and the Dolphin Bay Yacht Club restaurant. Mangrove insects on windless nights.
