You can anchor at one and a half hectometres from the coast on a sandy and rocky ground, and the depth ranges from five to seven metres. The nearby village of Sant Ferran de ses Roques has the most modern church of the island, consecrated in 1889. The difference between this one and the rest of the churches in Pitiüses is the latin cross shaped floor in two stretches,aswell as a transept. The facade is not whitewashed and it has a belfry.
