Loreto Port Captain

26° 0.9′ N · 111° 20.4′ W · approximate

The Capitanía de Puerto in Loreto, where boats moving along the coast report arrival and departure (domestic movement)—not a port of entry for clearing into Mexico.

Practical

Coordinate is approximate: placed at the harbour; the office's exact position was not found in OpenStreetMap—ask at La Dársena. noforeignland users report efficient paperwork, limited English and no charges for checking in at Loreto. If you are in Marina Puerto Escondido, the marina normally files arrival/departure notices for guests; otherwise a radio call to the port captain is often all that's needed (Cruising World). Clear into Mexico first at a port of entry such as La Paz, Cabo San Lucas or Ensenada. VHF 16 reaches the port captain in an emergency (Loreto.com).
