Approach to Itaparica Town Anchorage and Marina da Itaparica: A bit confusing, due to the naval degaussing area marked by yellow buoys in the approach, but most yachts could just approach slowly with no problems.
There are some lateral buoys that mark a channel with about 20m. If you stay in this channel until you come to a kind of wooden platform (which has valves that control an underground gas pipeline) near a green buoy, keep the green buoy to port and the nearby north cardinal buoy to starboard and head for the anchorage/marina.
