Seno delle Grazie is entered between Punta Del Varignano and Punta del Pezzino, 750 m NNW. Anchorage can be obtained in depths of 7 to 13 m within the bay, which is one of the safest and most convenient within the gulf. However winds from the SE or NW are strong and E winds cause an appreciable swell. Most of the SE shore is lined with quays reserved for naval use, merchant vessels must remain 100 m clear. La Grazie, the village at the head of the bay, is fronted by a wooden pier and slipway of 300 tons capacity.
