Practical

Position from GeoNames (populated place; airfield adjacent). Not a yacht stop for most boats: The Log (2026) reports only that some adept shallow-draft sportfishers have found storm shelter near the town in the Soledad Channel. Local pangas run winter gray-whale trips. Population about 2,170 (2005, Wikipedia).
