Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south-west clear of the Sénétose reefs and the Cagnola headland. The bottom is rock with some sand pockets; drop in a sand patch and check the set. Sheltered from N, NE and E, open to S and SW where the libeccio builds a significant swell. No night lighting in the bay.

Practical

No services at anchor. Tizzano, 3.8 NM SE, has a small harbour with a few visitor buoys, a bakery and two restaurants. Port de Porto Pollo, 7.3 NM N, offers a full marina with fuel, water and a capitainerie.

Ashore

The Sénétose coast and the Cala di Conca beach lie within walking distance along the shore. Genoese tower of Senetosa, restored, stands on the headland 2 km south and is reached by a marked coastal path. The site is part of the Natura 2000 zone Plateau de Pertusato and Îles Cerbicale fringe.
