Anchoring: Allowed

Rocky anchorage off the northwest tip of the Giens peninsula in the Var, between Hyères and the Presqu'île de Giens.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the west along the Rade d'Hyères. Bottom is rock, holding is variable, drop the anchor on sandy patches between the rocks. A single mooring buoy is sometimes found in the cove. Sheltered from N and NE winds, fully exposed to the mistral from W and SW and to easterlies setting into the rade. Keep clear of the posidonia beds, which are protected under French Mediterranean regulations.

Practical

No facilities on site. Nearest shelter is La Madrague de Giens at 0.9 NM NE, Port du Niel at 1.4 NM E.

Ashore

Land below the point and climb the steps by the old Batterie de la Salis to join the Sentier du Littoral, which runs the full western coast of the Giens peninsula. La Madrague de Giens fishing harbour lies 0.9 NM to the NE for shelter and a bakery.
