Salina Cruz - Docking
This is the only port south of Acapulco where a yacht can haul out, and the only one where larger yachts can safely wait for a Tehuantepec gale to pass.
It is less dirty than Lazaro Cardenas and has less shipping traffic.
Yachts entering the outer harbour must proceed directly through the narrow gap in the quay into the inner harbour. Then, turn hard to starboard and berth alongside the high seawall on the SE side. The Navy also use this seawall.
The Port Captain’s office is straight ahead in the SE corner of the inner basin.

New VTS (vessel traffic separation) lanes surround Salina Cruz, so yachts may not even approach or cut close to shore, even during a gale. Most ship traffic now runs N-S into the huge new (2013) breakwater enclosure immediately west of the old port. Keep your VHF on 13 and 16 when passing Salina Cruz.
