Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from seaward with daylight only. The shore is strewn with drying rocks and isolated dangers typical of this granite coast, so keep a lookout and reference the SHOM 7024 chart for Pianottoli. Shelter from N to SE sectors behind the headland; the anchorage opens to the south and south-west.

Practical

No facilities. Drop on sand patches between rock and posidonia, in 3 to 8 metres. Pianottoli-Caldarello harbour lies 2.3 NM east for water, fuel and provisions. Commercial Marina of Bonifacio is 7.6 NM to the SE.

Ashore

The coastline belongs to the Natura 2000 site Plateau de Pianosa et plages de Ventilegne. Sand beaches of Chevanu and Tonnara lie within walking distance along the shore path once landed by tender.
