Full Description & Details
At 14 Meter is an anchorage in Gundogan, on the Bodrum Peninsula in Turkey. The name reflects the typical depth found here: around 10 meters, with a seabed of sand and mud, though rocks lie submerged closer to shore. It is a straightforward stopover for a yacht looking for a quiet overnight spot rather than a developed marina.
The anchorage offers shelter from the meltemi and from the north, making it a reasonable choice in those conditions. Depths run to about 10 meters, and the holding is in sand and mud. Overnight anchoring is allowed. However, the cove sits under Ministry of Forestry protection, which may limit shore activities. The area is better suited to light winds; in stronger or shifting conditions, the protection is less reliable.
Facilities are minimal. A dinghy can reach a snack bar, a beach, water, and a dock, but there are no shops listed nearby. This is not a place for provisioning or repairs; it is an anchorage for a night or two, with the essentials available by tender.
Safety notes: submerged rocks near the shore are a real hazard, and winds can differ from the forecast, sometimes curling in from an unexpected direction. The cove gets crowded in summer, so arriving early helps. Given the rocks and the variable wind, it is best treated as a fair-weather anchorage, with a careful eye on the chart and the conditions.
How to get there
Approach At 14 Meter with caution. The anchorage lies off Gundogan on the Bodrum Peninsula. There are submerged rocks close to shore, so keep a good distance from the land when coming in. The depth is around 10 meters in the holding area, which gives reasonable clearance for most yachts, but the seabed transitions to rock nearer the coast.
There is no specific VHF channel or formal approach procedure noted for this anchorage. For land access, the dinghy can reach a snack bar, beach, water, and a dock. Gundogan is the nearest settlement, and Bodrum, with its airport and transport links, is nearby. No formalities are mentioned beyond the Ministry of Forestry protection covering the cove.
