Calanques, Marseille to Cassis: where you can still anchor

10 places · Marseille and the Calanques

The Calanques national park inlets where stopping is still allowed, west to east: Sormiou, Morgiou and Sugiton for a swim, Port-Miou for a sheltered night on a buoy. En-Vau and Port-Pin have been closed to all boats since 2021; admire them from outside. Anchor on sand only, never on posidonia, and arrive before 10 am in July and August if you want a spot.
