Shelter: W, E, SW, S, SE
Seabed: sand
Anchoring: Allowed

Bay on the south shore of the Toulon roadstead, between Saint-Mandrier peninsula and La Seyne-sur-Mer, open to the N.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Enter the Toulon outer roadstead from the SE between Cap Cepet and the Grande Passe, then head W into the bay. Mussel and oyster farms occupy the inner half of the bay, buoys mark their limits, and it shoals close to the shellfish lines. Room to anchor can be tight, with much of the clear water taken up by buoys. Keep clear of the French Navy area off Saint-Mandrier to the SW. Exposed to the N wind, the mistral, which funnels down the roadstead.

Practical

Sand bottom, holding good. Protection from W, E, SW, S and SE, open to the N. Tender landing at Port Pin Rolland 0.2 NM S for water, diesel and chandlery and at Le Lazaret 0.3 NM W for the shellfish farmers' quay.

Ashore

Mussels and oysters of the Lazaret are sold fresh at the Tamaris shellfish farmers' stalls along the bay, a 400 year old shellfish farming tradition. Corniche Tamaris coastal road leads in 2 km to the Villa Tamaris cultural centre and in 3 km to Les Sablettes beach on the Seyne side.
