The Estérel: Théoule to Agay, anchorages of the red rocks

11 places · Riviera · Alpes-Maritimes

Ten miles of red porphyry between Cannes and Saint-Raphaël, with a cove every 500 metres: Théoule and La Figueirette, the Galère cove, Le Trayas, Anthéor, Cap du Dramont and the Île d'Or, then Agay roadstead, the only real shelter. Rock and sand bottoms, clear water, but everything is open to the south-east: check the swell before staying the night.
