Navigation

Approach Point Cruz lining up the post in front of the yacht club with the post further up on the hill. There are green and red (unlit) buoys marking the entrance. The latest C-MAP ED3 2012 is correct, some of the older C-MAP ED2 show you off to the W on the reef.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Point Cruz Yacht Club is on the shore at the head of the bay. It is the place to land your Dinghy and fairly safe to leave it. The Club is more a hang out bar for the older expat crowd than a yacht club but they are generally friendly and helpful.

Anchorages

As at Oct 2012 there are 7 visiting cruising yachts here all swinging free on the W side of the harbor near the yellow mooring buoy. The mooing buoy can be rented - see notice board at point cruz club. Anchoring stern up to the sea wall is it seems harder than it used to be, as this space is currently taken up by local charter boats who it seems have moorings off the seawall. There is also a new big dock in the middle that has recently been constructed and takes up a fair amount of space.
