Guide
Approach and anchoring
Reached from the Intracoastal Waterway by following the eastern seawall south past Bahia Mar. A sandbar lies across the entrance, so sound it carefully on the way in. The sand bottom holds well, and the lagoon is sheltered from south-west through north-west.
Ashore
Bahia Mar Yachting Center lies 0.8 nautical miles north-west, with fuel and full marina facilities. Las Olas Boulevard and the Atlantic beach are within reach, with shops and provisions a short walk away.
