Porto di Marina di Salivoli, Tourist port in Marina di Salivoli, Piombino, Italy.
The porto di Marina di Salivoli lies north-west of Piombino's centre, at the foot of Punta Falcone, the promontory that separates the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Ligurian Sea. Inaugurated in 2000, the tourist harbour has about 490 berths for vessels up to 18 metres, with depths of 3 to 4 metres. It borders the Salivoli beach and the gravel cove of Scoglio d'Orlando, reached through the port itself.
Planning for the harbor began in 1997 and several years were invested in creating a secure and modern facility. In 2000, the fully equipped marina opened its doors to the public.
The port marks the northern limit of the Tyrrhenian Sea: just north of Punta Falcone, the promontory overlooking the harbour from the west, the water is already the Ligurian Sea. From here Corsica lies 83 km away at Rogliano, the closest point of the island to the Italian peninsula.
Access is difficult when strong sirocco winds blow, so check conditions before entering. Depths average 3 to 4 metres and berths take vessels up to 18 metres. On land there is a slipway, dry storage, fuel, water and electricity hook-ups, plus mechanical and electrical repairs. The beach at Scoglio d'Orlando can be reached through the port itself.
Punta Falcone, the promontory west of the harbour, marks the point where the Tyrrhenian Sea gives way to the Ligurian Sea; the marina is the northernmost port of the Tyrrhenian. From here Corsica lies 83 km away at Rogliano, the closest point of the island to the Italian peninsula.
