Porto Conte
| |
Porto Conte is the largest natural harbour in Italy, but it is too shallow though for commercial craft. There are two nature reserves in this area: the land reserve Parco naturale regionale di Porto Conte and the marine reserve Area naturale marina protetta Capo Caccia - Isola Piana.

Anchoring is presumably regulated by the marine reserve authorities. At 3 locations the authorities have installed some mooring buoys. Reportedly its also possible to anchor there on sandy patches.

You may also leave your boat at the Cala Dragonara and walk along the road to Capo Caccia then down the 656 steps of the Escala del Cabirol (goat's stairway).
