Overview
Cedeira is a small town in a pretty bay. It's position on the north coast, some 20 miles east of La Coruna makes it convenient as a stopover either waiting for fair weather to round Cabo Ortegal of a first stop having crossed the Bay of Biscay. Its spacious anchorage is in lovely surroundings, but it is is not the best place if you want excitement or require any work on the boat.
Local Weather
Local weather conditions
The entrance is straightforward and should be possible in all weather conditions. The cllffs on the approach are tall and there are numerous uncharted rocks - so the advice is to stay deep. Approach should be made by aiming at the Pta del Sarridel lighthouse on about 155degs. When close (a cable or so) turn to starboard and go around the point avoiding the isolated, lit danger of Piedras de Media Mar. The anchorage opens out after passing the breakwater. The bay is wide and fairly shallow, offering reasonable holding.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None.
Anchorages
In addition to the obvious anchorage off the breakwater, the lovely Playa de Villarube offers great anchor spot provided the wind has some south in it.*
