Ogoppiriadup Cay Beach (East Holandes)

9° 35.1′ N · 78° 41.3′ W · approximate

A small cay next to the Hot Tub ringed by a big sandy beach all the way round, a breezy, bug-light alternative to the mangrove islets, with sea beans and a giant whale bone to find.

Practical

Coordinate approximate: Spirit of Argo describes Ogoppiriadup as 'the next cay over' from their Hot Tub anchorage (09°35.067'N 078°41.504'W); confirm on your chart. Whale bones on the beach and off the reef at Nap Garden; lots of sea beans and sea hearts on Western Holandes beaches. Land by dinghy; keep clear of reef edges. Check whether a caretaker is present and pay any landing fee.
