Guide

Approach and anchoring

Enter between Pointe de Port-Man and Pointe de la Galère, on a heading of about 220°. Bottom is sand with rock and Posidonia patches; anchor on sand only, or pick up a park ecological mooring buoy when laid in season. Well sheltered from W through S to SE; open to N and NE winds.

Practical

No services in the bay. Diving and fishing are regulated by the park: no-take zone and anchoring rules apply. Closest harbour is Port-Cros village 1.5 nm to the W with a small pontoon and limited berths. L'Ayguade du Levant 0.9 nm to the E.

Ashore

Coastal path loops around the bay and climbs to Fort de Port-Man, a 17th century coastal battery overlooking the entrance. Trail to the village of Port-Cros across the island, about one hour on foot, passing Fort de l'Estissac.
