The entrance to Puerto de Cabrera is hidden until you are upon it, and then opens up into a beautiful natural bay with a 15th Century fortress on the port side that rises from a clump of stones. Entrance is possible in all winds but would be tricky if the wind was blowing very strongly from the north.
