Asinara Area- La Pelosa And Rada Dei Fornelli
This stunning anchorage with unbelieavibly clear water gives protection from the swell coming from South, West and North, but is very open to any wind. The anchorage is great in the incredibly white sand, but the area is naturally limited due to the shallow bottom that drops to 5 mts at nearly 1 NM from the beautiful white beach of La Pelosa. This anchorage offers a few landing points ashore and it is the best to use if you are willing to visit the Island of Asinara.
Sea bed: low.
Please find in this link the rules for Asinara National marine Park.

Main reason to come over this way is Alghero town, a passionate and exciting city, capital of the Riviera del Corallo, also known as the Sardinian Barceloneta, or "little Barcelona".
The indicated three anchorage points are the only ones allowed, Alfa and Bravo, the green ones will require approval from the authorities.
