Docking
Anchorages:
This provides a well-protected anchorage in a lagoon, the entrance to which is sheltered by mangrove swamps. The anchorage bottom is mainly mud and sand. Holding is mediocre.
The anchorage is quite full of fairly derelict boats and several liveaboards. Moorings are randomly laid. There is a dinghy dock at the marina on Punta Salinas and also at the Waterfront Bar and Restaurant called Sal Pa’ Dentro, which is just west of the marina.
Security in the anchorage is good and at the marina.
Marina:
Marina Salinas is located on the western side of the bay as you enter and can accommodate over 100 vessels. Fully renovated in 2020, amenities have greatly improved here.
Ashore:
It is approximately ¾ mile to walk to the supermarket from the marina. There are several restaurants in the port area and a very attractive bar in the marina.
