    We found this beach an okay place to anchor in calm weather when we sailed through the Straits. It was calm here, no music from shore, although there is a road and occasional trains, we sat watching the big ships roll by and the sun set over Sicily. We anchored in 10-13m, great hold immediately, I would happily use this anchorage again. For tidal streams in the strait: http://www.correntidellostretto.it

    I got wet in 6m of water at SE bathing buoys. Background of good behavior. There was over 15 knots of north wind and I was totally protected from the choppy. The downside is the smell of garbage on fire. There was a big smoke 1 km from the anchorage which was turned down by the wind.  I think it's a garbage dump that burns garbage. The smell was really unpleasant and there was ashes on the boat. Out of the smoke perfect wetting.

    Je me suis mouillé dans 6m d'eau au SE des bouées de baignade. Fond de bonne tenue. Il y avait plus de 15 noeuds de vent de nord et j'étais totalement protégé du clapot. Le bémol ce sont les odeurs de poubelles en feu. Il y avait une grosse fumée à 1 km du mouillage qui était rabattu par le vent. Je pense que c'est une décharge publique qui brûlait des ordures. L'odeur était vraiment désagréable et il y avait des cendres sur le bateau. Hors la fumée mouillage parfait.

    Used this Anchorage again last week May 2019, same as before a nice calm night. Moved in shore a little to 8-9 metres depth. There are some unlit mooring bouys (yellow) we stayed south of them.
