Port de Tizzano is located 18 kilometers from Sartène near Propriano, in a narrow, rocky cove. The port faces N-NE and features a pier on the eastern shore—which is quaysided on the inside and approximately 40 m long—offering 100 berths, 25 of which are temporary and intended for medium-sized boats with moderate draft. The basin is 0.5 m deep and the dock is 1.5 m deep; boats can moor at floating docks. Boats with a draft greater than 2.5 m may enter the cove by heading toward the head of the pier and being careful not to drift to the west. The harbor offers basic services such as water, electricity, a phone booth, a slipway, and shops for supplies. Enter the harbor heading north, keeping the breakwater on your left, and drop anchor in front of the dock.
Dotted along the rocky shores of the harbor are several villas and a road that connects to the coastal highway. The houses and the old fort at the harbor entrance are clearly visible from a distance. To the left of the harbor lies Pointe de Latoniccia, a rocky promontory surrounded by numerous rocks, whose tip extends into three rocky ridges that stretch about 100 m offshore. The port is exposed to southwesterly winds; boaters are advised to check the weather conditions upon arrival. Coming from the south, you must pass La Botte de Tizzano, a rocky islet located 300 m offshore and flanked to the north by dangerous reefs. Proceed with due caution, staying in the center, between the coast and La Botte.
Tizzano It is a village far from mass tourism, where fishing is the main industry. In the surrounding area, you can find beaches and coves with crystal-clear water. The main beach is Cala di L’Avena, while Cala du Barcaju is located on the opposite side of the village. Six kilometers to the southeast lies the secluded beach of Tra Licettu. In the summer, you can go scuba diving or rent kayaks to reach some coves that are inaccessible by land.
The region offers opportunities for hiking or horseback riding in the countryside. North of Tizzano, you can visit the Alignement du Paddaghiu, the largest cluster of dolmens and menhirs in the Mediterranean. At the local restaurants, you can enjoy seafood specialties, lobster, and all kinds of other seafood.
