Docking

The wide entrance leads into an outer basin from which a narrower entrance leads to the marina. The shelter here is very good but in strong southerlies, the wide entrance can be dangerous.

Be sure to identify the correct entrance as that of the fishing port is close by. There is a large, conspicous hotel to the E of the marina entrance.

On arrival, berth at the reception pontoon and report to the office.

There is no anchoring in the outer harbour.
