Guide

Approach and anchoring

Open approach from the west with no off-lying dangers beyond the visible coastline. Head into the inner bay in 4 to 8 metres over sand, keeping clear of the river outflow. Shelter from NW through N and E round to SE; fully exposed to the prevailing SW libeccio, which makes the bay untenable in strong southwest winds.

Practical

Anchor off only; no moorings or facilities. Sand holding good. Restaurant and beach bar open in summer on the south shore of the bay. Nearest fuel and provisions at Port de Sagone 4.6 nm NW or Port Charles Ornano in Ajaccio 7 nm S.

Ashore

Sandy beach of Liscia stretches roughly 1 km across the head of the bay, backed by maquis. Footpath follows the river upstream for birdwatching along the brackish reedbeds.
