The marina at Porto Petro is small with room for yachts only up to 12m in length. However, it backs onto bars, restaurants and shops with telephones nearby. This quiet town is an attractive backdrop for the marina. A deposit of 2,000 pesetas is required when using electricity or water in this port. For larger craft it is possible to anchor in the bay. Due to a flash flood seven years ago there were a great many large tree branches strewn around the seabed, so that use of a trip-line on the anchor was recommended, but by now this is not usually a problem as only the occasional branch remains. Club Med, who have a holiday complex behind the beach here, are attempting to make the beach a private one and to ban visiting yachtpeople from landing. However, to have private beaches is impossible in Spain and any attempts to persuade you otherwise should be met with a polite refusal to leave.
