Guide
Approach and anchoring
Sand and posidonia bottom. Good holding on clean sand, poor on weed, so drop carefully in the bright patches. Shelter from the N, NE, E and NW, open to the south and south-west. Drop in 5 to 10 metres and stay outside the marked swimming zone of the Fossettes beach in season.
Practical
No services at the anchorage. Port de Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 0.4 NM to the north-west and Port des Fourmis at Beaulieu 1.2 NM to the north cover fuel, water and berths.
Ashore
The Sentier du Littoral loops around the Cap Ferrat peninsula with access from the Fossettes beach. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its nine themed gardens sit on the ridge above the cove, 900 metres on foot. The village of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat has restaurants and a fishmonger around the old port.
