Marinas: Isla Clementina and Isla
Christina are floating pontoon islands in the main harbour close to town.
They are very well protected, however, suffer from wash from passing boats
during the summer months and require a dinghy for the trip to town. There
is 220v, water, and an outside shower. Administered by Ribero del Puerto.
Moorings: many moorings around the harbour, administered
by Ribero del Puerto
Anchoring: good holding and no charge in Cala
Teulera near harbour entrance, though 2mile dinghy ride to town. There are
other anchorages closer to town but all require payment and are open to wash

Shelter: excellent from all wind directions. One
of the most protected natural harbours in the Mediterrranean.
