Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south. Rock bottom only, poor holding, use of a rock hook or buoy on nearby mooring field recommended over direct anchoring. Shelter from N, NE, E and SE; exposed to the mistral from NW and to the south swell.

Practical

Mouillage forain on rock, no services, no landing pontoon, and it fills quickly on fine summer days, so arrive early. Closest ports: La Madrague de Saint-Cyr at 0.9 NM N, small harbour with a few visitor berths, and Nouveau Port des Lecques at 1.7 NM N with full facilities.

Ashore

Landing on the beach is awkward, with rocks running out across the foreshore. The sentier du littoral runs along the shore, linking the Calanque du Port d'Alon to the west and the beach of Les Lecques to the north-east. The Roman villa of Tauroentum, a small archaeological museum on the shore, is 1 km N from La Madrague.
