The town and small harbour of Bagnara Calabra lie on the Calabrian coast of Italy, along the 'instep' of the peninsula, around five miles NE of the tiny harbour of [[Scilla]] at the entrance to the Straits of Messina. Primarily a fishing harbour, the town is known for its swordfish fishing fleet and also for the manufacture of the Italian nougat confection, ''torrone''. Wine is also produced on the slopes surrounding the town. Today, the town is a popular tourist resort, mainly frequented by Italian tourists attracted by its rugged landscape and long sandy beaches. The town’s small harbour is usually crammed with fishing boats and other commercial vessels, but a yacht may be able to find space alongside its breakwater or associated quays.

Winds along the Calabrian Coast of [[Italy]] are generally light in the summer months. The most notable feature is a SW sea breeze that kicks in 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 some of the harbours along the coast can become hazardous.  Bagnara Calabria itself suffers from swell with northerly storms and consequently, two of the pontoons are usually removed for the winter.

==Approach and Navigation==

There are no dangers in the approach from either N or S.  From S, the town is conspicuous, extending for over a mile at the foot of mountainous slopes and fringed by a long, sandy beach with a series of six rocky wavebreaks protecting it.

==Passages==
-
Inside the harbour, the quays on the SE side are usually occupied by fishing vessels on laid moorings.  Larger vessels moor alongside the quayed breakwater, and it is here that a yacht may be able to find an alongside berth during less busy periods.  It may be necessary at peak times to lie alongside a fishing vessel (after requesting permission, of course).  Depths at the quays range from 5.0 to 15 metres.  The bottom is sand.  Yachts planning to enter should first call the port office on VHF channel 16.

The town and small harbour of Bagnara Calabra lie on the Calabrian coast of Italy, along the 'instep' of the peninsula, around five miles NE of the tiny harbour of Scilla at the entrance to the Straits of Messina. Originally a fishing harbour, the town is known for its swordfish fishing fleet and also for the manufacture of the Italian nougat confection, torrone. Wine is also produced on the slopes surrounding the town. Since 2009, the harbour has been operated under concession by Compagnia Portuale T.

Winds along the Calabrian Coast of Italy are generally light in the summer months. The most notable feature is a SW sea breeze that kicks in 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 some of the harbours along the coast can become hazardous. Bagnara Calabria itself suffers from swell with northerly storms and consequently, two of the pontoons are usually removed for the winter.

Sources for weather information:

  • There is a continuous (computerized voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation
  • The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16
  • Navtex weather forecasts are broadcast from stations at La Garde (Toulon), Roma and Cagliari (Sardinia)

Passages

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

There are no dangers in the approach from either N or S. From S, the town is conspicuous, extending for over a mile at the foot of mountainous slopes and fringed by a long, sandy beach with a series of six rocky wavebreaks protecting it.

The harbour itself is situated 500m NE of the town in a small natural cove, protected by a long breakwater. The harbour is entered from NE around the end of the breakwater. Shelter is good here in most conditions, although strong W and NW winds cause a surge.
