Guide

Approach and anchoring

Anchor in 8 to 14 m on sand between posidonia beds, and expect a couple of attempts to set the anchor. Swinging room is tight when the bay fills by day. Most boats leave by about 20.00. Keep clear of the yellow buoy used by excursion boats. In April 2026 a forecast of 6 to 7 kn became 20 kn inside the cove. Easterly waves rolled boats at night in June 2026.

Practical

Anchoring, overnight included, was allowed with a national park permit in 2025. Park rangers charged 47.90 euros for one day in July 2025. Landing on the beach was forbidden in 2025, and the beach lies in a nature reserve. There is a swimming area.
