Vueltas (Valle Gran Rey) - Docking

YOU MUST PRE-BOOK A BERTH HERE – SEE TOP OF PAGE FOR DETAILS.

Entrance:

It is advisable to keep at least 0.5NMs offshore until the entrance has been identified. There are outlying rocks just south of the entrance and off the root of the breakwater

Harbour Information:

The inside of the breakwater is used primarily by fishing and tourist boats but there is usually space for a few yachts with bollards and ladders every 20m or so.

The post office is in the building by the harbor gates Tel: (+34) 922 805 476). There is water on the quay.

Anchoring:

It is also possible to anchor in the bay south of the harbor in 8 to 12m, in the sand, with good holding. Open to the west and subject to gusty winds caused by the high cliffs, this anchorage is beautiful but does tend to suffer from the swell.  When the swell is excessive permission can be sought to anchor in the outer harbor but the holding is reported to be poor. It is advisable to anchor well outside the harbor entrance to ensure sufficient sea room for the ferry which is a catamaran.

Getting ashore, it is advisable to avoid a beach landing (unless conditions are very calm) and instead takes your dinghy into town - to the left of the rocky beach just under the cliffs.
