During high season, July- August, Bencil Bay is very crowded due to its popularity. It may be better to arrive earlier in the morning to find a good place for anchoring. If you are planning to have lines ashore, it would be a good idea to choose somewhere that daily tour boats will not prefer to stay. On the photo,I try to show marine traffic in the bay at 1500 hours. And please do not tie your ropes around trees.

4/5Almost at the head of the bay. Across from swim platform. No need to take line ashore, just anchor at 9 meter and let the wind swing you... a little bay to yourself.

5/5We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of September 2020 slightly North off the marks spot on the port side. Anchored in 15 m of water with lines ashore very pleasant and safe. Forecast was 25 to 30 knots NW. Some gusts enter the bay mainly southerly but nothing strong. No problems with flies or mosquitoes at that time of the year.
