It is very attractive here and the foreshore and wharf are open to public access.
The bay is sheltered with good holding in N sector winds but is completely exposed to S sector winds.
It is possible to anchor with a line ashore or swing free. Various cables are laid across the bottom of the bay so care must be taken when anchoring.
It is very shallow at the head of the bay and dries out about 20 m from the shore.
There is road access to Mistletoe Bay.
Vessel speed is restricted to 5 knots in entire bay with a 5 knot speed buoy.
