Ensenada de Mata

• Location: Cuba
• Lat / Lon: N 20° 17.302' / W 074° 22.816'
• Depth: 3-8 meters
• Tide: 1.0 meters
• Description: The Ensenada de Mata is a delightful bay, surrounded by steep hillsides covered in coconut trees. Unfortunately, its entrance faces to the NE so that when the NE trades are running the swells drive straight up into the bay, making it a rolly and uncomfortable anchorage. At other times, however, the bay provides a good deal of protection. 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.
