Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the west along the Cap Corse shore. Sheltered from N, NE, E and SE, the prevailing tramontana and east breezes of the cape, and fully open to the libeccio. Bottom of clean sand with even holding, anchor in 3 to 8 m off the beach, seaward of the yellow buoys that mark the summer swimming zone. A strong easterly or sirocco on the far coast can spill down the mountainside in gusts even though the cove faces away from it, and any west in the wind sets up a night swell.

Practical

Forain anchorage with no services. Centuri lies 2.5 NM to the north and is the closest port for fuel and provisions. Macinaggio on the east coast is 4.7 NM to the northeast around the cape.

Ashore

The beach of Alisu is one of the only sand beaches on the west side of the cape and is reached by a dirt track from the D80 road. A beach bar and kiosk on the sand serve drinks and simple meals through the season, with tables to book, though the music can run late on busy nights. The sentier des douaniers, which follows the tip of Cap Corse from Macinaggio to Centuri, passes above the cove.
