Guide
Approach and anchoring
Open roadstead approach from the south. Drop in 4 to 8 metres on sand, avoiding posidonia patches flagged as algae on local charts. Holding is fair on sand, poor on weed. Water and electricity are available on the beach side for dinghy runs.
Practical
No direct services at the anchorage itself. Menton Vieux-Port lies 0.2 NM to the south and Menton-Garavan 0.4 NM to the north-east, both offering fuel, berths and chandlery if shelter or resupply are needed.
Ashore
Promenade du Soleil runs along the seafront to Menton old town in under 15 minutes on foot. The Jean Cocteau museum and the covered market of the Halles are within 1 km. The Garavan botanical gardens sit on the hillside 1.5 km to the north-east.
Story
Menton hosts the Fete du Citron every February, built around tonnes of lemons and oranges grown on the surrounding terraces.
