Very good anchorage when arriving from Gibraltar or Madeira. Sandy bottom. Very calm in a northeast wind.
Tres bon mouillage en arrivant de Gibraltar ou de Madere. Fond sableux. Tres calme par vent de Nord-Est.
4/5Good grip on a sandy bottom. In the northwest of the bay the soil changes to rock. Anchorage very crowded, constantly more than 20 boats and a lot of daily visitors.
Guter Halt auf Sandgrund. Im Nordwesten der Bucht wechselt der Boden auf Gestein. Ankerplatz sehr voll, ständig mehr als 20 Boote und viel Betrieb durch Tagesgäste.
4/5July 2020 We stopped in this anchorage after our crossing from Gibraltar. Very good holding on sand, no rolly and very quiet We went to the marina on dinghy but due to Covid the marina was not allowing us to moor at the pontoon, we only got 15 minutes and then we had to leave. You can reach town by foot or with the 4x4 taxi wich usually wait at the beach in front of the anchorage. Nice place to relax and recover from the crossing, especially if you had a rough one! You should apply for permission to anchor here....we didn't but nobody checked, maybe also because July is not so crowded, it was just us and another sailboat
