Zimmari Cove – Panarea
A safe anchorage in Panarea, one of the Aeolian islands, is Zimmari Cove, which is located in the southern part of the island. The anchorage is well sheltered from N-NW winds and is exposed to winds from quadrant II and III.
The bottom holds anchorage well and is sandy mixed with posidonia.
The beach in front of the cove is the only sandy beach on the island, and is characterized by a red color, which is why it is also known by the name Red Beach. It is very narrow and overcrowded in summer, but turtles used to come here to lay their eggs. On the plateau a short distance away there are also the remains of a prehistoric village.
