Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the open sea between Cap Canaille and Cap Morgiou. Sheltered from west and north-west winds, exposed to easterlies. Sand, rock and posidonia seagrass on the seabed, so drop the anchor only on clear sand to avoid damaging the protected seagrass.
Practical
Open anchorage with no services. The port of Cassis 0.8 NM to the north-west and Port-Miou 1.3 NM to the west offer berths, water and provisions. National park rules on anchoring depth and zones apply.
