Arrival/Departure procedures
Arrival
Entry paperwork is carried out at the wharf at Haven Barcadera. You need to tie up to an old wharf in what appears to be an industrial, solitary part of the island. There is a dump located immediately to the NW of the wharf and you may very well be able to see the smoke emanating from the dump while well out to sea. Fenders and lines prepared on the port side when coming alongside. Both the Immigration and Customs offices are located right there and are staffed by very friendly and efficient officers.

Personal Notes
We arrived on 24 December, checked in at Barcadera and then anchored off Palm Beach, where we had a Xmas Eve dinner at a beachside restaurant. On waking up on Christmas morning, we found the dinghy and outboard were gone. We had left them in the water, tied to the transom, unlocked. Be warned!
Other than that, we had a great time, liked the friendly locals and would return.
