Guide
Approach and anchoring
Shelter from NW round through N, W, SW and S, so a good hook-in when the tramontane blows hard. Bottom mixed sand, rock and algae, with uneven holding. Drop in 5 to 10 metres and dive the anchor if possible to confirm it is set clear of posidonia.
Practical
No services on site. Port de Cerbère lies 0.7 NM to the south and Banyuls-sur-Mer 2.1 NM to the north-west for berths, water and provisioning.
Ashore
The GR 10 coastal path passes above the cove and links Banyuls to Cerbère along the cliffs. The Banyuls marine reserve, France's oldest, starts just to the north-west. Banyuls itself is the home of the Banyuls AOC fortified wine, with cellars open to visitors near the seafront.
