There are two areas for anchoring in the St George's area: outside along the cliffs at Martins Bay and inside the Lagoon. The northern bay, the Carenage, is not available for non-commercial vessels.
The anchoring space inside the Lagoon is shrinking and the remaining "free anchoring" space in the northeast sector is crammed with local derelicts and other boats. There is room for a very few boats to anchor along what
would be considered the entrance channel between Port Louis and the
Grenada Yacht Club, but it tight.
One caution should be noted by anyone entering the Port Louis area of
the Lagoon - there are large yellow bouys paralleling the long floating
pier for use by large "Med-Moor" yachts. Navigating around and in between
these bouys is tricky.
