Marathounta’s Bay feels quiet once the day visits thin out, with clear water and a beach that’s easy to reach by dinghy. Find sand for the best holding and leave room for other anchors in the centre. Read more
Go ashore for snorkelling along the rocky edges and a break at the beach restaurant when it’s open. A short ride inland brings you to the island’s harbour for its painted façades, small galleries, and evening strolls on the waterfront.
The bay is quite deep, with a depth of around 20 meters at the entrance, but in the northwest corner the depth is more manageable (around 15 meters). The seabed is sandy. Securing lines to the shore is advised in windy conditions. While the anchorage is relatively isolated with only a few boats usually present you might encounter excursion boats, so it’s wise to avoid the small pier.
