Guide
Approach and anchoring
Round Cap Croisette to the east to reach the anchorage. The water is deep with little room to swing, and the sand and weed bottom gives indifferent holding, so drop in a clear sand patch, avoid the Posidonia meadow and dive on the anchor. Open to easterly winds, and the wash of passing motorboats makes it choppy by day. Port des Goudes lies 0.3 NM to the north-east.
Practical
Mouillage forain inside the Parc national des Calanques. Anchoring regulated: no anchoring on posidonia, zones balisees published by the park. Nearest services at Port des Goudes and Madrague de Montredon.
Ashore
Iles de Maire, Jarre and Riou visible to the south. Sentier du littoral leaves from the Goudes towards the Calanque de Callelongue at 1.5 km. Bus 20 from the Goudes reaches Marseille Castellane in about 40 minutes.
