Description:
This busy port is situated midway down the eastern shore of La Palma island.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
It is mandatory that visiting yachts call La Palma Port Control on VHF Channel 06 when 3.2 kms (two miles) out for permission to enter. They must also be contacted prior to departure.
On approach, beware of the rocks on the south and south-west side of the port. Be sure to give way to commercial and fishing vessels.
The entrance to the marina is on the western side, near the Club Nautico. When arriving in the port call the marina on VHF Channel 09. A new anti-swell door has been installed at the marina to improve protection. It is operated with a traffic light system and the opening procedure takes approx. 10 minutes.
Cruiser Highlights:
Friendly locals who will take you to the local beaches and to the volcano if you like. Good supermarkets for provisioning.
