The harbour of Anzio lies 26 miles SE of [[Fiumicino]] and two miles W of [[Marina di Nettuno]] on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy. Formerly the Roman town of Antium, it was a popular retreat for the Roman emperors, several of whom built opulent villas here. Nero constructed one of the most palatial of these villas around 60AD and also ordered the construction of a harbour, the remains of which are visible today to the W of the modern harbour. Anzio was also the site of a famous amphibious landing and battle during World War II, which eventually resulted in the capture of Rome from Nazi forces. Anzio’s small harbour is subject to regular silting and there is very little space for visiting yachts. When full or with strong onshore winds, [[Marina di Nettuno]] two miles E is a better alternative. | The harbour of Anzio lies 26 miles SE of [[Fiumicino]] and two miles W of [[Marina di Nettuno]] on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy.

The harbour of Anzio lies 26 miles SE of Fiumicino and two miles W of Marina di Nettuno on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy. Formerly the Roman town of Antium, it was a popular retreat for the Roman emperors, several of whom built opulent villas here. Nero constructed one of the most palatial of these villas around 60AD and also ordered the construction of a harbour, the remains of which are visible today to the W of the modern harbour. Anzio was also the site of a famous amphibious landing and battle during World War II, which eventually resulted in the capture of Rome from Nazi forces. Anzio’s small harbour is subject to regular silting and there is very little space for visiting yachts. When full or with strong onshore winds, Marina di Nettuno two miles E is a better alternative.
Local Weather
Winds along the Tyrrhenian Coast of Italy are generally light in the summer months. The most notable feature is a SW seabreeze that kicks in late morning and blows at little more than Force 2 - 4 until the evening. Thundery conditions are not infrequent during early Spring and Autumn, and associated winds can sometimes reach gale force and kick up a substantial sea. In winter, gales can blow from both NW and S and entry to and exit from many of the harbours along the coast can become hazardous.

The harbour of Anzio lies on the eastern side of the headland of Capo d’Anzio. A light structure on the headland and the tower of the cathedral are conspicuous on the approach. The outer breakwater of the harbour will be visible on rounding Capo d’Anzio from W. The headland should be given a clearance of at least half a mile to avoid the sunken remains of the ancient Roman harbour and an offshore wreck just W of it. The harbour should be entered along the line of the breakwater, where depths are usually around 4.5 - 6.0 metres (although silting frequently reduces this).
Berthing options
Yachts normally berth (if there is space) on the quays in the inner harbour, where there are depths of 2.5 - 3.0 metres. There are ostensibly 10 spaces here for yachts in transit (maximum stay 48 hours). Anchor moor back to the quay or go alongside wherever there is space.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None.
Anchorages
In settled weather only, anchor off the beach to the E of the harbour in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The anchorage is unsuitable with even moderate winds in view of the swell.
