The channel across the bay is marked by buoys.
The bay is very windy but does offer good protection. Holding is good, particularly in front of the Hotel Salinas, however, be sure to put out plenty of chains.
At the Hotel Salinas, there are some privately owned berths which may be available to rent if free, however few services for cruisers.
It is also possible to leave the dinghy at the hotel pontoon.
The depth at the pontoon is 2.5m.

In April 2016 we cleared in internationally in Las Salinas. Clearing out however they cannot do. For the boat and 2 crew, we paid US$ 60 (US$ 40 for the boat and US$ 10 each passport). 4 officials came on board for “inspection”. They asked (friendly) for a small tip and a beer…
The bay is mostly very windy. The sand bottom over hard bottom is not deep, so make sure you put plenty of scopes. We saw 2 boats dragging, incl. 1 boat grounding.
The hotel dock can be used to moor the dinghy, however, it is not easy, since there is no installation to tie it up. We left the boat at the hotel dock for a week, travelling the country. We paid 20 Peso per foot per day (US$ 0,44) incl. water. It is NOT a marina since there are no showers or any premises made for cruisers.
We enjoyed Salinas for almost 4 weeks, it is very quiet and authentic. To go to Bani there is a bus going every 30-40 minutes. It takes about 45 minutes.
