Hadicurari (Fisherman's Huts) Day Anchorage
12° 35.0′ N · 70° 2.9′ W · approximate
A day stop off the Hadicurari fishermen's docks in front of the Marriott hotels at the north end of Palm Beach - swim, dinghy ashore to the bars or dive the Antilla wreck.
Practical
Two approaches from Eagle Beach (Virgintino 2015): inshore close to the coast in about 12-15 ft, or about a mile offshore past the Antilla wreck then straight in; unmarked 4-7 ft shoals lie between the routes. Anchor near the black 'pirate' charter boats in 7-8 ft. The Hadicurari Fishing Center dinghy dock may be used with permission; keel boats cannot dock. Not an overnight anchorage except in very settled weather. Coordinate approx: offshore of the OSM Hadicurari pier/beach.
