Porto-Vecchio Marina and Gulf

The Marina of Porto-Vecchio

This vantage overlooks the port de plaisance of Porto-Vecchio, a deep natural inlet on the southeastern shore of Corsica. Dozens of pontoons host pleasure craft, motor yachts and sailboats, making the harbour a hub for boating along the island's Mediterranean coast.

A Sheltered Corsican Gulf

The marina sits within a wide, protected gulf whose calm turquoise waters are ringed by low granite hills and maquis scrub. The bay's natural shelter has made it a favoured anchorage and a gateway to the celebrated beaches and coves of the region.

A Living Coastal Town

Above the waterfront rises the historic hilltop town of Porto-Vecchio, with its citadel and old quarter. The webcam captures the constant movement of boats, ferries and dinghies crossing the harbour against a backdrop of wooded slopes and distant ridgelines.

What You Can Watch

Expect a panorama of moored vessels, jetties and open water, with the gulf stretching toward the horizon. It is an ideal lens on the rhythm of a Corsican harbour and the scenery that draws visitors to the island's south.
