Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the SW between the Iles Bruzzi to the N and the rocks off Cap de Senetosa to the S. Enter the cove on a mid-line course to keep clear of the rocky sides. Bottom of sand with rock patches, so drop the anchor on a clear sand patch and check the set. Shelter from N through E to SE; fully exposed to the libeccio from SW and W, which sends swell straight into the bay.

Practical

No services on the anchorage. Tender to the small fishing quay of Tizzano 0,1 nm SW for a couple of restaurants and a summer grocer. Port de Propriano, 8,3 nm north, is the nearest all-weather harbour with fuel, water and full chandlery.

Ashore

Genoese tower of Tizzano on the headland east of the cove, 16th century. Sentier du littoral links Tizzano to the Cap de Senetosa lighthouses in about 8 km south. Prehistoric site of Cauria with its alignments and dolmen of Funtanaccia, 7 km inland by road.
