The site functions as a boat harbor and mooring facility providing access to the waters surrounding the Manerba promontory. It is strategically positioned near the protected area of the Parco Archeologico Naturalistico della Rocca di Manerba. Visitors utilize this location primarily as a launch point for motorboats and a base for maritime recreational activities on the lake.

Insider tips

Book boat rentals in advance, especially during mid-summer weekends.

Wear water shoes, as the lakefront in this area is predominantly pebbly and rocky.

Observe local maritime regulations regarding restricted zones around the nearby nature reserve islands.

What to avoid

Attempting to swim in the active boat-mooring lanes; navigating too close to the shoreline near the nature reserve cliffs.
