Guide

Approach and anchoring

Anchor in 3 to 5 m on sand and mud with weed, with very good holding. Patches of seagrass and rock are hard to see in the murky water, and the anchor may not bite at the first drop. Submerged rocks with no warning lie on the approach from the north-east. The anchorage is free of swell, but morning traffic sends wash in. An open-air disco on the south-east shore plays music late into the night in season, so anchor towards the north.

Practical

The small dinghy pontoon is private and charged 5 to 10 euros in 2026. Dinghies can also land on the sand outside the marked swimming area. Cannigione harbour, across the bay, took dinghies free of charge in 2026. A supermarket with deli, meat counter and bakery is a 10-minute walk, with rubbish bins on the way.

Ashore

Small sandy beaches lie to the north near the rock domes. Private property limits shore access elsewhere. A water park for children is a 10-minute walk.
