Guide
Approach and anchoring
Anchoring is forbidden in the inlet. Passage only. The bottom is sand and rock, depth drops sharply from the cliff. Sheltered from NW, N and NE winds, exposed to the south.
Practical
No anchoring, no buoys for plaisance. The cove and its small beach are accessible only by sea approach or by land through a regulated trail. Land access from Luminy is limited to 400 visitors per day from June to September, booking required on the park website. Closest refuges: Port de Morgiou at 0.5 NM W and Port-Miou at 2.8 NM E.
Ashore
The view from the belvédère de Sugiton, 30 minutes on foot from the shore, looks down on the twin Torpilleurs islets. The GR 98-51 runs along the cliff between Morgiou and En-Vau.
Story
The access quota was introduced in 2022 after the park recorded over 2500 visitors on a single summer day, the highest pressure of any Calanques cove.
