gorgeous bay with crystal clear water. perfect anchor from mid sept on when the northerlies start to blow, this is well sheltered. of course very exposed though from the south. enough room to anchor 50 boats, so always room, small craft can get in very close, its quiet deep but there are bombies around so be very careful anchoring in close. beach is great, and u can hike over to whitehaven if u want to stretch your legs. reasonably close to Hamo, and just around the corner from Whitehaven, so this is a convenient place to anchor. we had some friends fly in and even came here just for the afternoon and dinner one time, although heading back to hamo in the dark is a bit sketchy, wouldn't recommend it, and probably wouldn't do it again unless i had to. caught a nice long tail tuna right out the front of chance bay towards the end of sept. tuna were jumping everywhere so threw a lure in chased them around a bit and reeled in a beauty. anyway one of the best places in the whitsunday group to overnight, but only once the southerlies have finished. i'd recommend to wear at least a rashy though in the water, no one does in sept but i saw with my own eyes an irikanji caught at chance bay in sept. swam up to the light at the back of a boat and a family caught it in a large jar. be rare in sept but be aware they are around. 👍😀
