Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the north via the bay of Juan-les-Pins, leaving Port Gallice 0.3 NM to the N. Keep clear of the rocky outcrop that gives the mooring its name. Sheltered from N to SE winds, open to W and SW swell. Seabed of sand and Posidonia seagrass, hence the buoys to protect the meadow.

Practical

Buoys managed as a Zone de Mouillages et d'Équipements Légers. Fees payable on site in season. Port Gallice lies 0.3 NM to the N and Port du Croûton 0.3 NM to the N for fuel, water and shelter in strong SW winds.
