Things of Interest | This bay is shaped some what like a butterfly, Coincidentally, colonies of butterflies may be found at times in the moist shade of trees along the creekbeds.The point which separates this anchorage has nice flat elevated rocks for sunbaking.nThe small beach on the western side makes for fascinating exploring. Watch out for stingrays when walking in the shallow water on the sand flats (shuffle your feet). |
