From the NW - There is a firing range which commences 5 miles to the SE of Mazagon to near Matalascanas, some 12 miles.

After the resort town of Matalascanas the coastline flattens.
From the SE - The lighthouse on Punta del Perro is prominent. Stay to seaward of the E cardinal buoy on Bajo Salmedina.
