Very few people ever stop at the Isle of Ronde because the Chris Doyle’s Cruising Guide lists it as a very rolly anchorage. He does add that it is a shame because the snorkeling is very good.
The crystal clear water was perfect for snorkeling and the bay is surrounded by a healthy reef and lots of fish life.
The crystal clear water also attracted a large collection of bird life, probably your only company on this anchorage, who used its clarity to dive for fish.
Besides the usual birds we saw quiet a few large white pelicans. Up to now we had only seen the smaller brown ones. They were very shy and I never got close enough to capture a good picture of them.
All their diving antics will keep you totally entertained.
Besides the birds, we had the beach to ourselves.
We were glad we took a chance and stopped here.
