Happy Valley Reef
12° 5.5′ N · 61° 45.6′ W
Happy Valley is a reef north of Dragon Bay on the west coast, starting in a shallow forest of brown coral and sloping through gorgonians and pillar corals to about 25 m. An old Admiralty anchor is the landmark, and when the current runs it becomes a drift south to Dragon Bay.
