Islotes Mejillones are nearly 0.5 mile SW of the Isla Peninsula. They consist of three large and several smaller rocks of whitish color.
The passage between them and the Isla Peninsula has depths of 10.1 to 14.6m, but there is a rock awash in the middle of the passage, and it should not be attempted.

Les îlots Mejillones sont à environ 0,5 MN au SW de l'île Peninsula. Ils sont composés de trois grands rochers et quelques petites roches. d'une couleur blanchâtre.
Le passage entre ces îlots et l'île Peninsula a des profondeurs de 10 à 14 m, mais il y a un rocher submergé au milieu du passage et il ne faut pas l'emprunter.
