Meads Bay Anchorage

18° 11.2′ N · 63° 8.5′ W · approximate

Sand anchorage off the middle of Meads Bay, about 3 nm west of Road Bay along the north-west coast.

Practical

Coordinate approx: about 350 m off the beach (OpenStreetMap beach way 200831200); check the depth on your chart. Cruising permit required. AXA lists day and overnight use, but older reports differ, so confirm at clearance. Rolly to dangerous in winter northerly swell, when Road Bay or the south-coast bays are better.

Best for

A lunch stop with resort-beach restaurants ashore

Season

Calm trades; avoid in N swell
