Punta Salto del Cane, the E headland of the cove, is steep, rocky and light-coloured, and green in parts. The headland is fronted by two rocky shoals lying 90 m offshore. Alum quarries occupy the upper part of the E side of the cove. With local knowledge temporary anchorage for small vessels can be obtained in depths of 10 to 14 m in the middle of the entrance to the cove.
