A breakwater extension was completed here in 2013 and deep water buoyed channel established. This development may not be on your charts or pilots and care is needed, especially if entering at night.
The best anchorage is in Baia da Palmeira at 16° 45.19'N, 22° 58.79'W in about 4m of water over thin sand. Be sure to not anchor too close to the cargo ship dock as the ships need to turn before leaving.
The bay can be windy, but holding is good, however, it's not a good anchorage in a strong southerly.
The moorings here vary in quality, so it is recommended to double check by diving on your mooring.
Jay is a local who will take his boat out to greet you. He will take your trash for a small fee and will also offer a ride to shore for a small fee. See comments for additional detail.
Water and fuel can both be delivered to the boat.
A good place to land by dinghy is just to the left of the beach. Other boats are also tied up there. You may find local boys who will watch your dinghy or tender for a small fee, while you are ashore.
Bahia da Mordeira, to the south of Palmeira, is a marine protected area and anchoring is not allowed.
