Sant’ Angelo di Rossano stands near the coast about 5. 5 miles W of Capo Trionto. Several factory chimneys in the town can be identified from about 3 miles offshore, but houses on the beach can only be distinguished on close approach owing to their low nature and the presence of vegetation. Anchorage can be obtained by vessels engaged in the export of local produce, about 0. 9 mile off the beach in front of Sant’ Angelo di Rossano with a hawser secured to a mooring post on the beach. Local knowledge is necessary to use the anchorage and vessels should be ready to leave at the first sign of an onshore wind.
