Los Crobas is a quaint, quiet, and pretty little town located on the very northeast point of Puerto Rico. Ashore you will find a couple of excellent restaurants and a couple of markets for restocking the galley.

If you need repairs that require haul-out, there is a small yard ashore, and they will allow you to work on your own boat, sans sanding and bottom painting. This yard is visible in the image above at the head of the harbor (look for the long pier and blue Travelift).

The main limiting factor to navigation is the depth of Los Croabas’ harbor. Average depths are around 6 feet, but there are shallower spots scattered around the harbor. Most of the tie ups here are moorings, although you may be able to find limited swing room outside the mooring field.

As is visible in the image above, there is a narrow entrance channel that leads into the harbor starting with green daybeacon “1” and red daybeacon “2,” which are followed a little farther on by green daybeacon “3.”
