Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from Les Goudes SW along the coast, passing between the islets and the shore with caution: rocks awash. Rock bottom, holding unreliable, trip line advised. Exposed to E, S and W. A white buoy with a ring here is reserved for dive boats. Port des Goudes lies 0.6 NM NE and Port de la Madrague 1.6 NM NE as refuges.

Practical

Forain anchorage, no services, inside the marine zone of the Parc national des Calanques. Anchoring regulated, posidonia seagrass beds off limits. Nearest shops and water at Les Goudes village.

Ashore

Les Pharillons islets are a recognised dive site with a shallow wall and grouper sightings. The wreck of the Liban lies below in around 30 metres and is a well-known dive. Sentier du littoral from Les Goudes links to Callelongue and the GR98-51 into the calanques.
