• Description: Punta Frances is the site of one of the most well-known wall dive sites in Cuba. It is a favorite stop for cruise ships and there is a very large mooring pennant and a shore-side visitors pavilion that have been installed to facilitate passengers. Despite the obvious development, the anchorage remains a favorite because it is an excellent location to stop en route to or from Cabo de San Antonio or points in the western Caribbean, and the diving and snorkeling are still excellent. See Waterway Guide Cuba for details on navigation and approaches.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
