Club de Mar

Shelter by wind direction

Sheltered from every direction.

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.

Seabed, depth and room

Seabed: mud.

Source: official seabed habitat map of the Balearic government.

Satellite imagery shows light, sandy patches around the anchoring spot.

Good holding.

Approach

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 1.7 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.
