Marina La Palma
T he marina is next to the rather pleasant little city of Santa Cruz de la Palma but beware the wind acceleration zone, which lies just outside the pier.
The breeze will abate as you round the pier but it can be quite gusty inside the harbour, too, and some swell nearly always finds its way into the marina. A solution in the form of a lock gate is currently being built in the marina entrance.
The town can be reached through the car park behind the fences around McDonald’s. It is a compact little town with some nice restaurants.
