Sheltered anchorage in a small cove on the Presqu'île de Giens, close to the Port de la Baie Saint-Michel, on the Var coast of Provence.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from seaward by day only, rock bottom calls for careful placement of the anchor in a sand patch. Cove shelters from all wind sectors listed in local crowd data, but swell can refract inside. Drop in 3 to 5 metres and check the set by snorkelling.

Practical

Forain anchorage, no services at the spot itself. Port de la Baie Saint-Michel and the Base de nautisme et de plein air are both 0.5 nautical miles to the north-east and cover water, slipping and small-craft facilities.

Ashore

Sentier du littoral of the Giens peninsula runs above the cove, part of the national coastal path system. The salt pans of Hyères, a classified Natura 2000 area for wading birds, lie on the isthmus roughly 2 kilometres inland.
