Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the east or southeast, rounding the headland at a distance of at least 300 metres to clear the rocks below the lighthouse. Bottom is sand with posidonia patches, so drop on a clear sand circle to avoid damaging the seagrass and losing the hook. Shelter from W, SW and S winds; fully open to easterly swell.
Practical
No facilities on the anchorage. Port du Pilon 4.3 nm to the NW in the Canebiers bay and Saint-Tropez harbour 4.4 nm to the NW offer full marina services and fuel. Summer marine reserve zones are signposted, check ZMEL limits before dropping.
Ashore
Cap Camarat lighthouse stands 129 metres above sea level, the second tallest in France after Île Vierge. Plage de l'Escalet lies 1 km south, plage de Pampelonne with its beach clubs stretches north of the cape.
History
The lighthouse was lit in 1831 and automated in 1977. Its granite tower rests on a 1,300 square metre platform carved into the maquis ridge.
