Isla Tortugas
We anchored at 09 46.73N 84 53.76W
19ft of water - Off The EAST Side
Isla Tortugas
We only spent a night here.
It was way too busy with tour and party boats for us. The anchorage itself was clear but we felt like we were surrounded. There were a bunch of Party Boats anchored off the snorkeling spots at the rock spires as well as the passage between the islands. There were also a bunch over at the beach on Isla Tolinga.
They did all leave at sunset so the night was peaceful. Not sure if it was just a randomly busy day. We didn't bother to stick around to find out. It's a shame it was so busy because this is a really pretty anchorage. If you can get it on a day without as many tour boats it would definitely be worth a visit.
