The Harbour | |||||
Access | Description | Not many berths because it is a fishing harbour. So one must ask locals where to berth.
Better berth in the NE of the harbour. But watch the draught in the SE part of the quay, where it is only 1,50 to 1,60m draught. |

Services | Draught | <1m near the beach; <1,80-3,50 at quay. | |||
