description
Most beautiful cala to stay overnight next to Capo Testa. Pretty well protected except from the north. The last place to stop before you cross the straight of Bonifacio to Corsica or before you go further west as we did. Anchoring is strictly forbidden here but there are 8 mooring buoys for various lengths up to 24 m.
This is a protected area managed by "area marina protetta". Online booking should be possible but you have to be a wizard to find out how to book online. There is no link that directs you to the right spot. After half an hour I gave up. Next morning someone came to the spot. I could pay by card €100,- for boats over 12 meters. Officially there's a 30% fine if you don't reserve and pay online.

I read somewhere that it's also bookable through the Donia app. I downloaded it but for whatever reason only three harbours in France came up. Maybe others are more fortunate or smarter.
On top of the cliff there is a restaurant and an bar/terrace. You can put your dinghy on the small beach and climb up a path and wooden stairs or go to a concrete stairs where you can leave your dinghy.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 4 hours and 18 minutes ago (Sunday 28 June 02:14 AM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
