Shelter: NW, W, SW, S, SE
Seabed: sand, rock
Anchoring: Forbidden

Headland just east of Île Rousse on the Balagne coast of Corsica. Anchoring is prohibited in this zone.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Mooring prohibited by prefectural decree, most likely to protect the Posidonia seagrass and the bathing zone of Île Rousse. Mixed sand and rock bottom. Route through to the authorised anchorage of Île Rousse 0.9 NM west or the marina of Port Eugène Ceccaldi 5.9 NM west.

Practical

No services on the spot. The authorised zone off Île Rousse is now a paid mooring buoy field at around 40 euros a night rather than free anchoring. All amenities in Île Rousse: water, diesel, supermarket, bus and rail link to Calvi and Bastia.

Ashore

Île Rousse town founded by Pascal Paoli in 1765 as a republican counter to the Genoese port of Calvi. The red granite islets of La Pietra and its lighthouse mark the entrance to the bay. Bathing beaches of Bodri and Giunchetu within 3 km east.
