Explore: Puerto Carmen
General Info
Puerto del Carmen is located at the south end of the island’s largest tourist development.
Owned by Puertos Canarios, this is a government-run port. Details of the ports they operate and the services they provide can be found on the Puertos Canarios website here. See Canary Islands/Formalities/Restrictions for more details.
Position: 28° 55’N, 13° 40.4’W
Docking
Entrance:
The port is busy with excursion boats and with the remaining space largely being taken up by local boats on their own moorings, it is best avoided by yachts.
There are no yachting facilities but the main road running through the huge holiday resort of Puerto del Carmen has many supermarkets, banks, bars and restaurants.
Anchorage:
In settled weather, it is possible to anchor just outside the breakwater and take the dinghy inside if wishing to visit the resort.
