Practical

Position is the GNIS point for Rendezvous Bay; Chocolate Hole is about 0.7 mile west (GNIS 18.31579 N, 64.78486 W). No cruising-guide detail on depths, holding or moorings for these bays was verified during research. Coast Pilot 5 says only that St John's south coast is very irregular, with small bays and coves fringed by reefs and shoals and dangers within 0.5 mile of the coast; check the chart and the NPS marine map for park boundaries before anchoring. A Dolphin Market branch is at Chocolate Hole, phone (340) 779-6001 (island guide). Open to the south.
