About This Anchorage
Baie de Campomoro is one of the most beautiful and least visited anchorages on Corsica's W coast — a wide sandy bay dominated by the finest Genoese watchtower in Corsica (16th century, 20m diameter, perfectly preserved on the headland). The sand is exceptional, the water intensely clear, and the Sartenais maquis-covered hills behind give the anchorage a wild, untouched character. A classic Corsica experience away from the famous tourist crowds.
