Monkey Island (Cayo Mono)
9° 9.7′ N · 82° 14.9′ W
A small cay in the south of Almirante Bay with a monkey sanctuary nearby and a well-protected anchorage that rewards careful pilotage.
Practical
Position is the GeoNames Cayo Mono island point — the anchorage is off the cay; pick your spot by eye and sounder. Cruiser reports: 4–5 m, good holding, well protected, but tricky access — enter in good light (noforeignland). Small Ngäbe settlement on the cay (GeoNames lists a population of 18). No services.
