nw coast

Spanish tower Lazzaretto (XVII century) stands on the right and low rocky promontory overwhelmed by low cliffs, bordering, S, Lazzaretto cala. Anchor in 14 m off Lazzaretto and Le Bombarde beach, which are the most enchanting ones of the NW coast. They have fine white sand and surrounded by dark red volcanic rocks and  Mediterranean maquis.

Le Bombarde Beach is a small bay between the rocks. Less than 1 km long, the beach is a few dozen metres wide. It slopes towards the water, which deepens just a few metres from shore. The water is almost always calm, crystal-clear, and always quite cold. There is a sandy bottom with numerous rocks emerging, especially at the two ends. The sand is fine and very white. Extremely popular among young people who tend to congregate near the bar, making the beach more "livable" towards the sides. Behind the beach there is a dense pine and eucalyptus woods.

- Anchoring within 200 m from the coast
