Padang is not an attractive harbour, full of fishing boats and small cargo ships. There are two anchorages for yachts:
Teluk Bayur, south of Padang on the NE side of the bay.
Position: 01° 00.1'S, 100° 22'E.
Bungus, a little farther away from the main town of Padang, but perhaps a quieter anchorage.
Position: 01° 02.1'S, 100° 23.8'E
Better shelter for shallow draft vessels is found five miles north up the creek used by the surf charter boats. A shallow, narrow (70 metre wide) entrance, but once inside depth levels of 2.5metres all the way to the bridge.
Position: 0° 57.945S 100° 21.116E
Although a two-hour ride to Padang, Cubadak is a lovely island just off the coast of West Sumatra and an alternative to anchoring in Teluk Bayur. It is, however, a challenging place from which to arrange transport to Padang to get supplies, visas etc. The anchorage is off a resort owned by Nani and Marco, who may be able to help you with arranging transportation etc.
