The attraction of La Palma is that it has remained unaffected by the modern world. A place where the classic architecture and traditional Canarian way of life blended with comfortable hotels. It is however in essence a place for sight seeing or for that romantic weekend. Peace and tranquility abound on this lovely Island reached by flights and ferries from Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Arriving yachts are expected to come alongside the main quay, unless a port official directs you otherwise. On arrival the skipper should report to the port office located in a low building in front of the main harbour gates. The harbour pilot monitors channel 16 during office hours, while the working channel of the port police is 71, which is supposed to be monitored permanently.
In the harbour's recent redevelopment, the small bay and beach next to the yacht club have been filled in to provide storage space for containers, so that the yacht club is now marooned ashore and is facing an uncertain future. The club is famous for its hospitality, but unfortunately, due to the increase in visiting yachts and its uncertain status, temporary membership is given at the discretion of the club only to members of certain clubs, as well as to people known from previous visits.
