Approach and anchoring

Open approach from the west. Protection from NE through E to SE winds only, fully exposed to the dominant libeccio from the SW. Scout sandy patches before dropping to avoid the Posidonia weed.

Practical

No services ashore at the cove itself. Port Tino Rossi in Ajaccio lies 7.7 nm to the north for fuel and provisioning, Porto Pollo 6.2 nm to the SE for a smaller harbour.
