Paopao Fuel Dock (Cook's Bay)

17° 30.1′ S · 149° 49.1′ W · approximate

A service station near the head of Cook's Bay with a small pier and fuel pump at its end, where cruisers and local fishermen fill jerrycans straight from the dinghy.

Practical

Approximate: OSM pier in front of the Mobil station on the bay's east shore. Small pier with a fuel pump at the end. A 2019 Noonsite report describes petrol and diesel hoses on the dinghy dock: tell the garage what you want (there is an intercom on the dock), fill the cans, then pay. Depth alongside for a yacht is unknown, so treat it as dinghy and jerrycan only.

Best for

Diesel and petrol by dinghy
