Guide
Approach and anchoring
Open roadstead exposed from the W round through the SW to the SE. Approach from the S along the Cap Bénat coast. There is plenty of clear sand to drop the hook on between the weed. Note the mandatory use of ecological buoys over the Posidonia beds in the 0 to 3 NM band of the Var, anchoring on weed forbidden for vessels over 24 m and discouraged for smaller ones. Best kept for settled weather. Private port of Cap Bénat 0.4 NM to the NE, reserved for members.
Practical
No service on the beach. Nearest supplies and fuel at the port of Bormes-les-Mimosas, 2,1 NM to the N.
Ashore
Coastal path reaching the Cap Bénat lighthouse to the SW and the village of Cabasson to the N, both accessible on foot from the beach. Fort de Brégançon, presidential residence, visible 1,5 km to the E.
