Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south-east through the gap between the Deux Frères rocks and the shore. Sheltered from SW, W and NW winds, exposed to the east where a swell quickly sets into the cove. Bottom of posidonia seagrass, so look for a clear sandy patch before dropping the hook.

Practical

Forain anchorage with no services. Port La Galère lies 0.6 NM to the northeast and Port de la Figueirette is 0.7 NM to the southwest, both suitable for fuel and provisioning.

Ashore

The red porphyry cliffs of the Esterel rise directly behind the cove. The corniche de l'Esterel footpath follows the shore on top of the cliffs and links the neighbouring coves.
