Seabed of sand with patches of Posidonia algae; look for clear sand patches before dropping, both for holding and to avoid damaging the protected seagrass meadow. Shelter from NE, E and SE; exposed to W and SW gusts falling off the hills.

Practical

No services at the anchorage. Water, fuel, berths and provisioning 4.1 NM NW at Porto-Vecchio marina and the Marine Group area.

Ashore
