Description
The Port of Garachico, in the north of Tenerife, is located in an area open to the waves coming from the direction arch WNN-ENE. The design has taken into account the effect of breakage that high-level waves can have on the maneuver of vessels in relatively small draft areas. It is protected from waves and currents by a dike 650 meters long. It has 160 berths on pontoons for sports boats up to 15 meters in length, in addition to 40 berths for fishing vessels up to 8 meters in length.
