Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south, keeping clear of the rocky shelf off Cap de l'Esterel. Abri from northwesterly winds only, fully open to the south and east. Weed-heavy bottom, set the anchor carefully and check holding by backing down.

Practical

No services ashore at the anchorage itself. Port des Salettes lies 0.7 nm east for shelter or water, Port des Oursinières 1.9 nm west for a fallback.

Ashore

Coastal path of the Giens peninsula passes above the cove, leading west to the salt marshes of the Vieux Salins and east toward La Madrague. Small beach coves at the foot of the path.
