Cruising the region

Baie de Pam is primarily a overnight anchorage when traveling to or from the Northern lagoon. The coast to the south is spectacular, though there is a limited number of anchorages. To the north, there is a maze of reefs and islands that continue on into the Northern lagoon area. There are a variety of anchorages amongst the northern reefs and islands, but none as sheltered as Pam.
