Maria la Gorda

• Location: Cuba
• Lat / Lon: N 21° 48.834' / W 084° 30.163'
• Depth: 3-4 meters
• Description: The best anchorage is 300-400 feet to the south of the resort dock. The bottom is a marl shelf, covered with a this layer of sand, that slopes gently away from the beach for approximately 0.25 n.m. and then drops off rapidly into the deeper waters of the bay. The deepest sand, and therefore the best holding, is closest to shore. See Waterway Guide Cuba for details on navigation and approaches.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
