About this Anchorage

Bahia Cobre is a good option if Bahia Salinas is too roly to spend the night, we prefer the view here than painted cliffs, but it isn't as well protected from the south as Painted Cliffs are.

There is a pebble beach, which usually has a fishing camp on it, but otherwise its just somewhere to watch the sun rise over the sandstone cliffs which in the right light is quite remarkable.

Anchoring Notes

Anchor in 20ft a fair distance off the beach. Check the charts for obstructions, and be careful when rounding the various points as they all have rocks and reefs.
