Handfield Bay
Handfield Bay sits on the north side of Sonora Island, offering a sheltered anchorage with a stern-tie in around 10 metres. It's the kind of secluded spot where you'll typically share the water with only a handful of other boats. The real draw here is the warm water — Passage reaches up to 25°C (80°F), so jumping in actually makes sense.
