Anchorages between Long Beach, Ca. and Matzalan, Mexico

S/V "Corine" moored to dock nine, Marina Matzalan, Mazatlan, Mexico.

S/V "Corine" approaching Los Frailles from the south, an outstanding anchorage.

Clean, most of the time comfortable, and economical Cabo San Lucas outer harbor.

Cabo San Lucas outer harbor looking south to the arches, not depected in the photo however.

Tosco, the next useable anchorage after Cabo San Lucas, a delight.

Punta Belcher, a shallow anchorage with the old whaling station in the foreground.

Looking south from the Santa Maria Bay anchorage.

Punta Bluff, at best a poor anchorage despite the appearance.

Asuncion, an excellant anchorage, somewhat windy in the late afternoon but good shelter.

Turtle Bay, has a refueling dock about halfway beteen San Diego and Cabo San Lucas.

Cedros Island Harbor. Dangerous, bottom mostly rock, poor holding.

Isla San Martin. Provides some southerly weather protection.

Punta Colnett. Can be rough at times.

Bahia San Quintin. Can get rough with southwesterly weather running.

Puerto Santo Tomas. Rough with lots of kelp, avoid if possible.
