Sandbar – 58°11.09'N, 154°15.46'W [GPS WGS84 position]
Anchorage – 58°11.72'N, 154°16.42'W [GPS WGS84 position]

The approach is close to the NE of the rocky, wooded promontory that divides Kuliak Bay in two. Extending across the channel from this promontory is a Sandbar, 4m, which is a good place to anchor temporarily to reconnoitre by dinghy. The entrance channel through the drying gravel bar is narrow and deep, 4m. However, just inside, there is another Sandbar, less than 1m. It is best to go in at half-flood, when the position of the channel can still be seen, but there is adequate water over the inner bar. Then proceed to the head of the lagoon between the drying flats on either side, and anchor in 15m. Bears on the beach.
