Allowed

Cove on Caprera island, off north-east Sardinia, within La Maddalena national park, where a park permit is required. Sand bottom, sheltered from N to E winds and open to the southern and western sectors.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Room for one or two yachts. Anchor on sand patches among posidonia and scattered rocks. In June 2026 a thin layer of sand over rock gave no hold in 5 m after about six attempts. Holding on the sand was reasonable in 2024 and 2025. In a strong easterly, gusts swirl off the high ground and can swing boats through 180 degrees.

Practical

In 2024 park staff checked permits on the water, and a 15.5 m catamaran paid 64.50 euros on the spot. The pass was valid across the national park.

Ashore

A landing with a pontoon gives access to the shore. The ruins of an abandoned fort lie close to the cove, and a military base stands nearby.
