Tartane Anchorage (Baie du Galion side)
14° 45.7′ N · 60° 55.3′ W · approximate
A small fishing harbour and surf village on the Caravelle peninsula, sheltered behind a buoyed channel. Surfers ride the beaches, beach restaurants line the front, and the anchorage is described as calm.
Practical
Position is the Baie de Tartane as named in OSM (approximate); the harbour is just to the south-east. A short channel is marked by red and green buoys (OSM, see passage 'Tartane Harbour Channel'). Régis Guillemot calls it a lively fishing village with a quiet anchorage. No verified depths. Approach in daylight around Pointe Tartane. Restaurants on the front include La Tartanaise, Le Fond de la Mer and Chez Gato (OSM), and there is a fuel station by road (jerry cans). Surf beaches (Anse Bonneville / Plage des Surfeurs) are east along the peninsula road.
