Navigation
Between Pomato Point and Raffling Point, there is a long sandy beach. The beach is secluded and is one of the most beautiful beaches you can get by yacht charter in the Virgin Islands. The best anchorage is North of Pomato Point. You can get a bit closer to the beach if you nick the shallow waters a bit. There is a Summer Anchorage off Raffle Point at the west end. You have to be an experienced navigator to use this anchorage. You can carry 2m inside the reefs but it’s a tight spot for charter yachts. In winter, the groundswell can push you to shore or get you trapped inside the reef. This is why it is best to anchor here in late April, May and through the summer when there is no danger of groundswell.
