La Posada Beach Anchorage (San Carlos)

27° 56.7′ N · 111° 2.7′ W · approximate

A roadstead east of the La Bahía entrance that is calm in a northwesterly and better shielded from winter wind than La Bahía by the hills to its west.

Practical

Coordinate is approximate (east of the marina entrance); no published position. Beach landing for dinghies is a short walk to the Santo Valle supermarket. Open to chubasco squalls and southerly swell. No depths in the sources — sound in, and stay clear of the marina entrance channel and swimmers. Beach-strip restaurants (Charly's Rock, Los Arbolitos, Turquesa, Meri Meri) are about 2 km east along the boulevard.

Best for

Winter northwesterlies near a supermarket
