The nature of the bottom should be ascertained before anchoring as it is rocky in places. Prohibited anchorage area is established in the harbour entrance N of the recommended anchorage in order to facilitate the movements of vessels in and out of the port. Anchoring is not recommended, due to the presence of numerous disused submarine cables, E of a line leading NNE for approx 1nm from a position on the shore bearing 021° distance 0.77nm from Le Charf Light. The area lies in the red sector (200°-225°) of Le Charf Light.
