Guide

Approach and anchoring

Clear approach from the south with no off-lying dangers. Sand bottom, good holding in 6 to 7 metres. Shelter from N and NW winds, fully exposed from E through S to SW, untenable under east swell.

Practical

No facilities at the cove, though a grocery lies about 200 metres up on the main road. Boulouris 0.3 NM west has a small harbour with limited visitor berths. Port du Poussaï 1.5 NM east serves as a backup.

Ashore

A beach restaurant of good standard stands close by. The rocky edges of the cove make good swimming and snorkelling for children. Sentier du littoral runs along the shore with direct access from the beach, leading east to the Cap du Dramont and its red porphyry quarry in 3 km. Boulouris train station on the Marseille to Vintimille line 400 m inland.
