COVID-19: OPEN PORT

  • See Biosecurity for details of the latest yachting protocols.

Description:

This Port of Entry (the first if coming from the north) is located just a few cables north of Cape “Santa María”, and about 35NM northeast of Punta del Este. La Paloma is well protected by two breakwaters. It comprises a commercial pier, the yachting marina, a local fishing marina, and a naval base.

The town is well connected with easy access to Punta del Este and Montevideo by bus.

The harbor is exposed to the north/northeast and can be uncomfortable in strong winds from that direction. Works are underway to build a protective breakwater on the windward side.

It is a holiday town (with prices to match) and is a friendly place.

Entrance Notes:

28/10/2019 – Dredging works have been completed and the port has re-opened.

Position:

34° 38.84’S, 54° 08.76’W (harbor entrance)

    Mooring charge was 433 pesos Uruguayan per metre for 10m boat.( nearly £11 at time of writing) . Water, electric and showers are charged extra. You need to ask if you do not wish the water and electric to be switch on, otherwise, it is charged by the day.

    The mooring situation on the high wall sections dictates that you must use protective pipes or chains on your lines as they run directly over a concrete edge.
    Personally I thought that LP was poor value, and I didn’t feel that the staff there paid too much attention to the boats. For this reason I would not leave my boat there unattended for an extended period. LP is well connected, easy access to Punta del Este and Montevideo by comfortable bus journey.

    Leaving was easy, the office issue a document which was valid for three hours after specified time of departure.
