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 as the Port Louis Marina complex is being built. It will eventually, according to published plans, take up virtually all of the Lagoon.
