Cala Cipolla is just S of Chia bay and before Spartivento cape. An islet separated from the mainland by a narrow isthmus is an ideal base to anchor, even for the night.
It is well protected from the winds (NW and E) and offers good anchorage by 4/5 m.

Cala Cipolla si trova dopo la baia di Chia, e prima il capo Spartivento. Un isolotto separato dalla costa da un istmo appena sommerso, è una bas ideale per un ancoraggio anche notturno.
E' ben protetta dei venti (E e NW) e fornisce un buono ancoraggio in 4/5 m.
Spartivento cape is at about 5 km SW of Chia. The granite promontory is 66 m above sea level.
Passing the fort you should be wary of two shoals covered with 3.5 m and 11.5 m near the E.
E cape is the beautiful beach of Portu Simoni Gibudda, call cala Cipolla. W are the rocks ...
The Padiglioni are 4 rocks of steep granit separated by channels where circulate occasionally strong currents. Rocks provide shelter from the N winds and Sirocco, if they are not too strong.
