Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the SW with the Senino headland to port. Keep clear of the rocky heads along the northern shore and of shoal rock about 1.5 m deep off the east side of the bay, near a stone house. Anchor on sand in 5 to 6 metres near the beach. Exposed to the libeccio from the SW; a westerly swell tends to build at night, when a stern anchor helps hold the bow into it, or shift to Sagone or Cargèse.

Practical

No services. Drop anchor on sand in 5 to 10 m. Cargèse 1.7 nm W has a small harbour with water. Port de Sagone 2.5 nm E has diesel, water and berths.

Ashore

A sea cave lies close to the anchorage. Cargèse village above its cliffs holds two churches facing each other, Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic, a legacy of the Greek colony from Mani settled here in 1676. Beach of Chiuni 4 km north by road.
