Guide
Approach and anchoring
The shoreline lies inside the outer rade of Toulon, open from the NE and E, with shelter from NW, N and W winds off the hills behind. Mooring balls and swim lines mark the protected bathing area from June to September, and anchoring inside is forbidden. Seabed is sand with Posidonia patches, which are protected under French law and must not be anchored on. The sand in 4 to 5 metres holds well and has sheltered boats in a strong mistral, but a heavy swell rolls in as the wind eases and makes it very uncomfortable.
Practical
No yacht facilities on the beach itself. Port de Saint-Elme lies 0.8 NM to the E with visitor berths and basic services. Le Lazaret anchorage is 1 NM to the NE and offers a permitted holding area on sand.
