Guide
Approach and anchoring
Rocky bottom, holding on isolated sand pockets only. Shelter from NW, N, NE and E winds including the mistral. Fully open to the south and the swell of the Golfe du Lion.
Practical
Anchoring regulated inside the national park, consult the park's daily zoning map before dropping. Port de Morgiou 0.6 nm west has a small fishing quay with no visitor services. Port-Miou at Cassis 2.7 nm east offers mooring buoys in the fjord.
Ashore
Parc National des Calanques, created in 2012, protects the limestone coast from Marseille to Cassis. The GR 98-51 coastal trail crosses the clifftops above the anchorage. Calanque de Morgiou hamlet has two seasonal restaurants and the former cabanons of Marseille fishermen.
