The small bay lies just under 1 NM to the SW of the narrow channel passage between Domuz Adasi and the mainland peninsula. The entrance is visible upon approach, there are no obstacles going in however the creek itself is shallow (2-10 m), rocky, relatively narrow, and prone to strong westerly gusts of wind, so larger vessels should consider either continuing on to Ravine Cove just to the W of the creek or anchoring at Ragged Bay, to the S, on the open sea side of the peninsula, a short walking distance over the saddle of the hill from the creek.
Berthing is available stern or bow-to the quays on the E and W sides or to the jetty at the head of the creek on the S side near the restaurant. Laid moorings should be available. If you choose to lay, anchor, make sure to get a good hold on the weedy bottom as manoeuvring in case of emergency is limited in the narrow bay, especially in the summer when it can be crowded.
