- Colonia St. Jordi.
39.18.52N 03.00.06E
This is a great overnight anchorage on the SE corner of Mallorca. It is protected from W, N, E and is generally uncrowded even at the height of the season.
It is the overnight anchorage of choice for the beautiful Es Trenc beach (a day anchorage only), from which it makes a perfect place to retire to after a stint on the beach.
Anchor in 12-15' in rock and sand well off the small beach. The town and marina of Colonia St. Jordi are a short dinghy ride away.
The town offers; Marina with fuel (up to around 40' only) Two really good seafood restaurants on the sea front. Best one is Marissol. Try the Clams Marinara or the Grilled Whole Sole. Small grocery store a few blocks off the beach. Sporadic wifi can be picked up on the seafront from the various condos, but we were only succesful 3 of 7 days. There is a small grubby internet cafe on the seafront and a better one near the grocery store. The beach at Colonia is a developed beach and family oriented, in contrast to the much larger "anything goes" sand dunes of Es Trenc beach a few miles away.
