Marea del Portillo

Location: Cuba
Lat / Lon: N 19° 54.793' / W 077° 10.887'
Depth: 4-5 meters
Tide: 0.5 meters
Description: Marea del Portillo is a well-protected anchorage that offers easy access from the open sea. The anchorage is a favorite of the local fishermen, many of whom work at night, so a daylight arrival will find many boats tied to the mangroves or at anchor.

Very beautiful bay, huge and super well protected, a dream anchorage!!!? Mud bottom, super tight, we anchor between 3 and 5 m deep behind the mangroves
Entrance poses no problem, follow the map and the markers.
The border guard came the morning after our arrival at 8 a.m. with his small rowing boat just to copy the despacho and put the entry and exit date, very kind!!
We therefore had the right to go ashore for a walk to visit the village. Great welcome from the population and by bartering we were able to have bananas, eggplants, peppers, mangoes and honey.
Our annex was very well guarded with no security concerns.
With the annex visit from the mangrove to the magnificent sea!!!
