Corregidor North Dock Anchorage
14° 23.4′ N · 120° 35.1′ E · approximate
Anchoring off Bottomside's North Dock lets a yacht crew visit Corregidor on their own schedule instead of the ferry's. The ruins are a short walk up from the beach.
Practical
Coordinates approximate: the mapped Corregidor Bay label (OSM) just north of North Dock (OSM 14.3883°N 120.5861°E). Depths and holding are not documented in the sources found; sound carefully and keep clear of the ferry approach. Bottomside is a low neck of land between the two docks. North Dock faces the North Channel and Bataan; South Dock (OSM 14.3845°N 120.5890°E) faces the open bay mouth, so pick the lee side for the season and move if the wind shifts. Check in with the Philippine Coast Guard station at Bottomside (OSM) before going ashore. Island tours and entrance are run by Sun Cruises; arrange visits in advance.
