Guide

Approach and anchoring

Open roadstead exposed to the south. Protected from the N, NW and NE sectors by the Maures massif, and better from E and SE when tucked well inside, though swell still works in and it is best taken in calm weather. Approach from the south. Many private mooring buoys, some without pick-up lines and one or two submerged, clutter the cove and leave little room. Mistral gusts can reach the bay.

Practical

Le Lavandou harbour is 1 mille to the SW with visitor berths, fuel and full services. Bormes-les-Mimosas marina is 1,8 milles SW. Anchor clear of the posidonia seagrass, which is protected under French law; use sand patches only.

Ashore

A beach restaurant sits above the sand. Sentier du littoral runs along the coastline linking La Fossette to Cavalière beach to the east and to Le Lavandou to the west. Shops and restaurants in Le Lavandou village.
