Sports and leisure activities Porto

An innovative concept created by François-René native of the village, which combines the qualities of skipper and professional fishing guide. On board his boat Alpana, the eagle, the emblem of the Gulf, you will discover on a guided tour or partly fishing the wonders of the calinities, Scandola, Girolata and other caves of Capo Rosso. Several departures per day of Porto or à la carte according to the desires. Privacy (12 places), comfort on board (wc, shower) and maneuverability to sneak into the faults and power for Fun (600 CV).

This point, also known as Punta Rossa, marks the southern limit of the Scandola Reserve. The exploration starts from a reef that rises to the surface some 50 m from the coast, and can be explored in two directions. If you choose to follow the drop-off towards land, at around 23 m, you'll discover the wreck of an old coalminer from the 1930s, the Saint-Mathieu. The second option is to let yourself sink along the drop-off on the seaward side. The wall is much steeper and you quickly reach 40 m, then 50 m.

Located 5 minutes away from Porto. Cormorants taking the sun welcome us on this multi-level site. Three rocks out of the water tell us the different dives. The first, the most important, shows two cavities dotted with red coral at about -28 m, continuing to sand a small forest of red gorgonian at -40 m and back to anchorage by finishing it. With some luck, you may see a ray going into the water. The rest of marine life ranges from nudibranch to lobster, passing through the corbs with the eternal ballet of saupes and sars that are there permanently. The other rocks allow us to discover groupers and octopus through a suite of small canyons. The grelles follow us for our great pleasure.

Tomek has taken over the Porto diving centre since July 2018. A good intimate atmosphere, not at all industrial. Nice dive to Capo Rosso. The access is on the left bank of the Port, on the other side of the footbridge and, immediately, you feel more calm, away from the frenzy of tourist shops. Half-day outing (Scandola, Capo Rosso in the after season). Palmed hike from 7 years old and 22 € (boat trip, equipment provided: shorty, PMT).
