Woody Bay – Rakino Island – A great anchorage in all breeze directions except a Westerly, (this is good if we are forecast north/easterlies over this summer)  this bay on Rakino Island has good holding and a sandy beach ashore. Our insiders tell us there’s also a tree swing on the beach, and plenty of nice walks on the island to get your step count up for the day. The coastline on Rakino Island is beautifully unspoilt and perfect for snorkelling and spearfishing if you’re that way inclined. It’s also a popular fishing spot where schools of kahawai have been known to frequent.  The perfect place for paddle boarding, swimming and relaxing with a picnic.
