The breakwaters of the marina are clearly identifiable on the E side of the channel leading to Stagno di Cabras.  The marina is entered from E around the end of the long breakwater that protects it from S.  Yellow buoys (lit at night) indicate the deepest water.  However, depths cannot be relied on and it is unwise to attempt to enter with a yacht of over 1.5 metre draft.

The marina habitually silts and depths are frequently little more than 2.0 metres, so it is only suitable for shoal draft yachts and entry is only possible in settled weather and never in southerly winds.
