Buenavista Anchorage (Ulugan Bay)
10° 4.1′ N · 118° 48.2′ E · approximate
An anchorage off Buenavista village on the eastern shore of Ulugan Bay, below the Buenavista Viewdeck, with Rita Island across the water to the west.
Practical
Position approximate: about 650 m off the east shore in front of Buenavista village (OpenStreetMap node 1855564403), checked as water against the OSM coastline; no published depths or holding. Rita Island lies about 1.2 nm west-northwest, with Observatory Rock off its north end; give them room. Buenavista village (barangay hall, schools) is ashore; the Buenavista Viewdeck community-based tourism site sits on the road above (City Tourism Office). About 4.4 nm south of the bay entrance. The east shore gives a lee from easterlies but the bay is open to the north: choose the inner bay (Bahile) if northerly swell runs in.
