What was once a small fishing village with only 200 inhabitants, Morro Jable has now grown into one of the biggest holiday resorts for German tourists on the island. The miles of golden beaches and clear blue seas, shops, bars and restaurants of attract thousands of tourists each year. Despite all the tourism the old village still remains intact and there is a quaint harbour in the west of the town which is used by local fishermen and yachtsmen and you can still escape the hustle and bustle should you wish to take a leisurely walk along the promenade or check out one of the local beaches.
Some of the beaches here are the longest and most beautiful in the Canary Islands stretching 35km and there's plenty to do for the water sports enthusiast from jet skiing to windsurfing. Its also possible to take a jet foil from here over to the neighboring island of Gran Canaria.
On arrival the captain should report with ship's papers to the harbour office, in the ferry terminal at the eastern end of the harbour. There are few facilities for visiting yachts; the existing pontoons in the eastern part of the harbour are occupied by local craft. Visitors can anchor in the western part of the harbour.
