Port of Arguineguín
Port of Arguineguín [[Arguineguin#Port of Arguineguín|Port of Arguineguín]] 27°45.436'N, 015°41.080'W Visitors must anchor outside and take stern lines to the inner breakwater, or anchor in the well-protected area between the harbour and the beach. The holding here seems to be reasonable. Water, electricity. Cafés, fish restaurants. 24 h security. The harbour has a boatyard with a travel-lift. LPG and other supplies are available locally.
Note: There have been some negative reports that the autorities discourage private yachts using the harbor.
