Cavus Liman

Description

Cavus Liman is a deep, east-facing bay seven miles north of the long headland of Tasklik Burnu. It has good shelter from the prevailing S-SE winds and the northerly land breeze, but is open E. Çavus Liman is often the first anchorage used by yachts rounding Tasklik Burnu en route from Finike to Antalya. At the head of the bay is a mile-long sandy beach, lined with beach umbrellas and restaurants and with several rickety jetties used by tripper boats. Yachts can anchor in either the southern or northern cove at each end of the beach in 6 – 7 metres. The holding is good on sand. The southern cove is sandy but has a number of small craft moorings in the best places. The best shelter – especially if anchoring overnight - is in the N cove, where you are mostly out of the inevitable swell you get in any open sea anchorage and you avoid the worst of the northerly land breeze. In both anchorages there can be occasional strong gusts with the afternoon seabreeze, so make sure your anchor is well dug in.
