El Embudo (Isla Partida)
24° 34.9′ N · 110° 23.9′ W
A tight little cove near Partida's north tip, the closest anchorage to the Los Islotes sea lions - a calm-day staging spot rather than an overnight stop.
Practical
Position: Cruisers Academy anchor pin (24°34'52.4"N 110°23'52.6"W). Calm days only; Cruisers Academy does not recommend overnighting. On windy days one person can motor the boat along the island while the others dinghy to Los Islotes. Moorings here appear to be for tour boats. Arrive before the 11:00 am tour-boat rush (about 8:15 am is quietest) or just after noon. Inside Archipiélago Espíritu Santo National Park: every person aboard needs the daily CONANP bracelet (225 MXN/person/day on the CONANP page) or an annual Conservation Passport.
