Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the north through the Golfe de Sant'Amanza. Shoals and rocky patches extend off the eastern point, so keep slightly to the west and head for the middle of the beach, watching for a rock awash near the entrance; a good chart and a lookout forward help, and low evening sun makes the rocks hard to read. Depths of 3 to 6 metres on a mixed sand and rock bottom, the permitted anchoring area marked by yellow buoys. Swinging room is tight, so allow for an overnight wind shift.
Practical
Anchoring only, no services. Protected from NW through N to NE and from the W, exposed to the S and SE. Nearest facilities at Sant'Amanza 3.2 NM NW, Bonifacio at 5 NM W for full supplies.
