Tips for Visiting Carrera Islet #

Boaters should be aware of local tides and currents near the islet; anchor in sheltered water and avoid approaching from the windward side.
Respect local marine ecology - no littering, and avoid anchoring on coral beds if present.
Because services are absent, bring water and basic safety gear; the islet is a day-visit location rather than a serviced destination.
