Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach on a southerly heading from the Marseille roads. Sand bottom close inshore. Shelter from N, W and NW; open to the southern sector and untenable in a southeasterly sea breeze or marin. Keep clear of the Cassidaigne shipping lane offshore. Corbières port lies 0.9 nm NE, Niolon 1.1 nm SW, both give safe refuge.
Practical
Day anchorage only. No facilities. Stopover for lunch or a swim before crossing back to Marseille or continuing to Carry-le-Rouet.
Ashore
The sentier du littoral runs along the cliff above the calanque and links Niolon to L'Estaque. The Niolon dive centre, 1.1 nm SW, runs trips on the Côte Bleue reefs inside the marine park.
