Care is needed due to the reef & shoal water approximately 900m ESE of the port entrance. Closer to the coast, there is a group of mooring buoys off the end of an oil pipeline. There is a massive traffic of ferries.

Mooring

Med moor to the NE or the NW (on the north half of the quay) quays, where directed. The bottom is mud with good holding. Anchoring inside the harbour is prohibited. Shelter is good although with strong southerlies there is a surge in the harbour, making mooring on the NW uncomfortable.
