Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the gulf in clear water over sand. Open to the E, SE and S, so the cove is tenable only in W to NW conditions. Keep clear of the Propriano harbour approach 0.3 NM to the E.
Practical
No services at the mooring. Port de Propriano 0.3 NM E provides fuel, water, electricity and visitors' berths. Porto Pollo lies 4.8 NM to the W across the gulf.
Ashore
Beach of Porraja is accessible by tender, with a restaurant and a beach paillote serving the two coves. Propriano town centre with shops, restaurants and ferry terminal to Marseille is a 15 min walk along the shore.
