There are good anchorages to the North and South of the cave; to the North anchor in 6-8 metres between two fairly sheer cliffs that stand in front of a small accessible beach, or to the South a few hundred metres from the cave off the main tourist beach in 4-8 metres on a sand/mud/rock bed. Make sure you test your anchor as dragging is possible here and chain 'rumble' is not uncommon because of the small patches of rock.
