San Pedro Anchorage (Romblon southwest)

12° 31.9′ N · 122° 14.9′ E · approximate

A small bay off San Pedro beach near Romblon's south-west corner, in the lee of the island in north-east winds and next to the island's best turtle reef.

Practical

Approx: placed about 170 m off San Pedro Beach Resort (OSM 12.53149, 122.25189) in open water north of the point (OSM coastline); not a published cruiser position. Depth and holding not reported in our sources; the adjacent San Pedro Sanctuary reef runs from shallow to 40 m, so the shelf is narrow - sound in and anchor on sand clear of the sanctuary, where anchoring is not permitted. Lee from NE; exposed to W and SW and to swell wrapping round the south end in strong amihan. Small guesthouse (Totoy's Place) and the resort ashore; about 20 minutes by road from Romblon town.

Best for

Turtle snorkelling and a quiet night in NE winds
