NO PROTECTION: Shaw's affords no protection from wind or swell and is particularly untenable in south swells, but on a settled day like the one we picked, it's a great spot to settle in - particularly near sundown - do some kayaking, take a couple of pictures and then bail out for some place protected. Hint: Yellowbanks/Smugglers is just around the corner.
Finding Shaw's: This isn't much of a trick, especially since it is not a defined anchorage. I think you can call anything between Sandstone point and the radar station Shaw's. It's more a spot that fishermen work rather than a suitable place to anchor.
Approach: Just stay out of the kelp. Or at least go where it is not impassable.
Going Ashore: You need a Nature Conservancy permit, which we have, but it doesn't look like a great place to start a hike.
Hazards: The aforementioned kelp, and where there is kelp, there are rocks.
