Cape Shoal, a group of dangerous rocks, lies 0.8 mile SSW of Cape Three Points Light and has a least depth of 4.6m. The sea does not always break on this group and even with heavy rollers, the rocks only break at considerable intervals of time. Vessels are advised to stay in depths of at least 35m in this vicinity. Achowa Point (4°46'N., 1°58'W.) is located 6 miles ENE of Cape Three Points. The coast between is bold and rocky for nearly 1 mile. It then becomes an undulating plain fronted by a sandy beach. The depths offshore between these points are very irregular and vessels should not approach the coast without local knowledge.
