The bay is shoal, and sheltered from the wind by Mangarin Point to the east and by Ilin Island.[1]
Magarin Point terminates in a long sandy pit off which the depth is 4 to 5 fathoms.[1] Farther in the water shoals rapidly.
The settlement of Mangarin is only accessible by light boat.[1] The surroundings are marshy, and few supplies are available.[1]
