Cala della Mortola

The name of this cove means “place of myrtle,” the plant from which the delicious liqueur of the same name is named.

Anchoring at Mortola is an experience; the crystal clear water and clear sand create a fantastic setting.

The bottom is sandy with a few patches of poseidonia that it is best to avoid “centering” .

The curious thing about this anchorage is the beach; it will present itself as a pebble beach after a “grecalade,” but after a “libecade,” sand will populate this beach again.

Anchorage to be avoided with winds in the first quadrant
