http://www.portsanluis.com/2159/Mooring-and-Boating-Services

All guest moorings are available on a first come first served basis. Moorings for vessels up to 35’ are located near shore and are the first two rows of moorings with white buoys directly east of the boat launch area (available April-October). Moorings for vessels up to 55’ are available year round and are the outer most moorings/white buoys on the west side behind the breakwater. Moorings up to 85’ are outer most moorings/white buoys on the east side of the channel entrance

Getting a mooring allows you to utilize the free water taxi service.

Anchoring

Yachts can anchor in 20-30ft water between the Cal Poly Pier (middle pier) and the Avila Pier (pier furthest south) in good holding mud/sand.

Access to the town of Avila is not easy since the Avila Pier is closed (as of December 2016) leaving beach access the only way. This can be a challenge when any kind of swell is present.

There is a floating work dock with water and power that is adjacent (northeast side) of the pier in the northwest corner of the bay. There is a small dingy dock on this pier for loading and unloading, but if you want to leave your dingy and go ashore you must tie-off to one of the many ladders on the pier. This pier has access to a boatyard and some restaurants and that is all. It is a 1.75-mile walk to the town of Avila which has many restaurants and one small grocery/deli.

    Tried to anchor here to the right of the pier but there was a lot of wind from the north and too much kelp. We would also have been on a lee shore, It was 10 metres deep and didn’t seem to get shallower. There was no yacht club mooring buoy that we could see.
