Beautiful cove on the west coast of the Maddalena, protected from the north. The surrounding area is clear.
At the bottom there is a dock.
Mooring buoys on rocky or sandy funds by 5 m.
In the southern part is another cove, a few houses and an old quarry without interest. Formerly, pink granite boulders were transported by ship across the world. The Cala Francese granite was used for the construction of the Statue of Liberty.
