Anchorage· Ua Huka· French Polynesia: Tuamotus, Marquesas, Gambier & Australs
Hatuana Bay (Ua Huka)
8° 55.9′ S · 139° 36.5′ W · approximate
A remote, idyllic bay on Ua Huka's west side, past Haavei. It is usually even better protected from swell, with no path ashore and no internet.
Practical
Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap label for Hatuana bay; no published anchor waypoint was found, so sound your way in. SY Maya (2020, via CruisersWiki): two very nice west-side anchorages, usually better protected from swell, are Haavei and, a little further on, Hatuana: 'usually even better protected... very idyllic', completely undisturbed, no path, no internet. Self-sufficient stop only.
