Guide
Approach and anchoring
Sand bottom, holding fair. Shelter from N, NE and NW winds, open to the south and east. The mistral gusting round the Esterel can create williwaws close to the cliffs. Drop in 4 to 8 metres, well clear of the submerged rocks off the point.
Practical
No services on site. Port de la Figueirette 0.4 NM to the west and Port La Galère 1 NM to the north-east cover fuel, water and visitor berths.
Ashore
The Sentier du Littoral passes along the cliff above the anchorage and joins the trails of the Esterel massif. Théoule-sur-Mer village centre is 1.2 km to the north-east on foot from Port La Galère, with bakery, grocery and restaurants.
