Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the open sea to the east, steering clear of the rocky fringes along the shore. Anchor on sand in 3 to 6 metres where holding is good, though the open roadstead rolls in the least swell and is only comfortable in flat calm; a night shift of wind can break the anchor out. Landing on the beach is easy. Protection covers the northwest, west and southwest. The roadstead is open to the eastern sector and should be left if a libeccio clocks round to the east.

Practical

No facilities on site. Solenzara harbour is 1.2 NM to the south for fuel, water and full provisioning. Marina di Fiori lies 16.8 NM to the south.

Ashore

Sand and reddish pebble beach below pinewoods, with the beach restaurant Palauma Plage set behind it, cash payment only. The Solenzara river valley opens the road to the Bavella pass and its granite needles at about 30 km from the coast.
