Prairie Chicken writes:  Porto Colom has been a favorite location for our boat for years.  It provides a well protected harbour, fuel, water, excellent provisioning opportunities, good restaurants, a choice of visitors quay with good showers, or anchoring.  Until 2008 the Club Nautico visitor's quay was a bargain, but sadely this is no longer the case.  In addition, Porto Colom is well located on the scenic East Coast of Mallorca, offering opportunities for day excursions with a safe haven to return to in the evening.
