Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the SW in the bay. Bottom of rock and posidonia, so anchor in the sand patches to avoid fouling the seagrass. Sheltered from NW through N to NE. Exposed to the libeccio from SW, which rolls into the gulf and builds heavy swell.
Practical
No facilities at the anchorage. Porto Pollo harbour is 2.6 NM to the SE with water, fuel and a village, and Port de Propriano 7.7 NM to the SE with full marina services.
Ashore
The Valinco coast is part of a Natura 2000 maritime zone. The prehistoric site of Filitosa, known for its carved granite menhir-statues dated between 3300 and 1200 BC, lies about 6 km inland from Porto Pollo.
