Guide

Approach and anchoring

Open roadstead sheltered from S, SW, W and NW winds, exposed to the east and the levant. Seabed of sand with Posidonia patches; drop the anchor on clear sand to respect the seagrass, where holding is good in 3 to 5 metres with room for many boats. In season jet skis and powerboats run through by day and set up wake, so anchoring well to the north of the beach gives a quieter berth. The Giens and Porquerolles area lies within the Parc national de Port-Cros adhesion zone, with anchoring restrictions on Posidonia for vessels above 24 m.

Practical

No services on site, though a Vival grocery ashore covers basic supplies. Port Auguier 0.7 NM to the SW and Port du Niel 1.2 NM to the W for small visitor berths and tenders ashore.

Ashore

The beach of La Badine borders the anchorage, with beach clubs and restaurants that can play music into the early hours in summer. The Giens peninsula coastal footpath runs around the cape, linking La Badine to the Tour Fondue ferry terminal about 1.5 km to the S, which serves Porquerolles year-round.
