Manchioneal Harbour Anchorage

18° 2.0′ N · 76° 16.2′ W

A former banana-export harbour on Jamaica's east coast, now used only by fishermen; the closest anchorage to Reach Falls.

Practical

Position is Virgintino's waypoint just east of the entrance (18 02.00N, 076 16.24W). Straight-in entrance; anchor on the north side in about 10 ft. Faces directly east, so the trades blow straight in: tenable only in mild trade-wind conditions. Not a port of entry.

Best for

Settled-weather stop on the east coast
