Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the open sea to the east. Bottom of rock and posidonia, so drop between sand patches to avoid fouling the seagrass. Sheltered from NW through N to NE and from W to SW. Fully exposed from S to SE.

Practical

No facilities. Nearest services are at Marina di Fiori 5.5 NM to the SW and Quilichi 6 NM to the SW for water, fuel and provisions.

Ashore

The Capu di Fora headland is part of the Natura 2000 zone of the Cerbicale islands. Coastal path along the granite shore toward Punta di Fautea, about 2 NM south, where a Genoese watchtower dating from the 16th century stands on the point.
