Guide

Approach and anchoring

Open approach from the SE. Sand and Posidonia bottom, so drop on sand to avoid ploughing the seagrass. Open to the SE sector and to the easterly swell; shelter from N, NE, E and NW. A water supply is listed on the mooring.

Practical

No port services on the spot. Port de San Peïre Les Issambres lies 0.3 NM W and Port Ferréol 1.6 NM NE for fuel, provisioning and repairs.

Ashore

Les Issambres beach is a short dinghy pull to the W. The Roman fish tank known as the Vivier des Issambres, cut into the coastal rock in the 1st century, stands on the shore between the anchorage and San Peïre.
