Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south clear of the Cap Ferrat headlands. Bottom mixed sand, rock and weed, so holding varies from spot to spot. Shelter from N through E to SE. Open to S and SW. The rade de Villefranche lies immediately NW, with deep water right up to the shore.

No facilities in the cove. Port de la Santé at Villefranche sits 0.5 NM NW, Port des Fourmis at Beaulieu 0.5 NM NE, both with berths, water and fuel.
