America bay is on the port side as you enter the opening that serves America and Refuge Bays. Both are extremely popular and can get crowded on summer weekends, however there is heaps of room in both for anchoring, even if the public moorings are already taken. There are waterfalls in both bays, the one at Refuge has a large vertical drop with a nice sandy beach to land on, this is arguably the most popular beach in the cruising ground and great fun for kids. The waterfall in America bay is camouflaged by a bush screen but well worth the effort to get up close and enjoy a refreshing fresh water shower. A small creek enters at the head of both bays and makes great exploration for kids. Yabbie pumping at the head of refuge is always productive at low tide. The head of America bay is the most secluded of the 2 bays. Refuge bay gets the early morning sun whilst America keeps the sun longest in the afternoon, so decide if you are a morning or afternoon person, or a quick shuffle in the morning can see you get the best of both worlds. Very protected from all but a strong Westerly.
There is a garbage barge on the outer edge in between these bays, the edges are a bit rough so best to take the dinghy in to drop off garbage.
