What and excellent place to be. The anchorage is protected and deep. Every day a little old man rows to the boat and hands us a flyer in a plastic bottle. It informs us that they would like us to use their moorings rather than anchor and risk destroying their coral. The parking fee is AU$5 per day - bargain!
The island has no cars or motor bikes. Everyone uses foot, bicycles or horse and cart. The roads are all sand tracks and there is a relaxed vibe. There are loads of tourists as it is a diving/snorkeling dream. The cafes have lounges and futons on the beach and everyone is friendly. We walk the perimeter of the island in 1.5 hours.
