Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south, no off-lying dangers. Drop the hook on the sandy patches between the rocky outcrops, typically in 4 to 8 m. Holding is good on sand, poor on the rocky ledges. A pipe runs out from the middle of the beach for about 150 m, part-buried in the sand and foul for an anchor, so keep clear of the beach axis. A watersports zone for non-motorised craft is marked off between two lines of buoys.

Practical

Shelter from NE, E and SE winds. Open to the west and to the mistral, which accelerates along the coast between Bandol and La Ciotat. Port de la Gorguette is 0.4 NM N, Bandol 1.1 NM NW for fuel, water and full services.

Ashore

Sentier du littoral between Bandol and Sanary passes above the bay. Plage de la Gorguette to the north with beach bars in season. Bandol village, AOC wine cellars and weekly market 1 NM NW.
