Guide
Approach and anchoring
Open to the west. The cove north of the point gives only occasional shelter and lets the swell in. Petite Anse, south of the point, and Anse à la Barque, 0.8 nm south, are better sheltered.
Practical
No services. The Parc national lists Tortues among the dive sites with moorings along the leeward coast.
