Guide
Approach and anchoring
Rock bottom, tricky holding. Approach from the south and drop with care clear of the rocks. Sheltered from NE, E, SE, S and SW winds, exposed to westerlies and libeccio.
Practical
No facilities in the cove. Porto Pollo lies 1.1 nm to the SE with a small marina, water, fuel and shops. Port of Propriano 6.2 nm SE is the main refuge in the gulf.
