Guide

Approach and anchoring

Eight mooring buoys were in place in June 2026. Park rules then required boats to be on a buoy after 22:00 and to carry black-water tanks. Do not anchor on the posidonia. Sand in 4 m gives good holding. In 2022 a red buoy belonged to a restaurant, and a yacht was asked to leave it around 21:00. In 2020 a restaurant asked 50 euros for a stay on its buoy.

Practical

Access to the La Maddalena park requires a permit bought online. The cove fills by day, even on weekdays in June 2026. A small jetty takes dinghies.

Ashore

Footpaths cross Isola Santa Maria. In October 2024 tourist boats from Santa Maria beach arrived around 10:00. In 2019 Restaurant La Casitta collected crews from their yachts on request and drove them up by golf buggy. It had no menu, and a meal cost about 200 to 300 euros a head.
