Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the open sea with a clear view of the beach; no offshore dangers reported in the immediate approach. Port de Sagone lies 2 nm NW and Cargèse 5.8 nm NW for shelter when the libeccio sets in from the SW.

Practical

Sand provides good holding. Anchor outside the swimming zone marked by yellow buoys in season. No services on the beach itself; Sagone has a small marina with water and a fuel berth.
