Port of Tazacorte
Located on the western coast of La Palma, the port of Tazacorte presents, with hard waves, a maritime access with some difficulty for larger craft, due to the relative proximity of the coast to the end of the breakwater that forces boats to adopt an open trajectory in NNE direction and the need to turn in the outer harbor. Small craft have no difficulty in taking the right direction even though they may be affected by high waves because of storm surge with high-energy. Once inside the inner dock’s shelter, the agitation level is extremely low.
The current configuration of the internal jettys allows a high degree of shelter in the inner dock dedicated to the nautical sports and sea excursions.
