Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the east and watch for semi-submerged rocks at the mouth of the cove; once past them the water is clear. Drop on sand between 5 and 10 m; patches of rock require checking the set on the anchor. Shelter from NW, W and SW. Wide open to the E and SE, untenable in libeccio or easterly swell. Solenzara harbour lies 2 nm north if the wind turns.
Practical
No services on site. Solenzara marina to the north has water, diesel, provisions and a capitainerie on VHF 9. Marina di Fiori is 13.8 nm south.
Ashore
The beach backs onto pine woods typical of the eastern Corsican littoral. The Solenzara river mouth, 2 nm north, opens onto the road up to the Col de Bavella at 1218 m, a classic hiking area with the Aiguilles de Bavella granite needles.
