Porquerolles's waters, in practice

The flagship island of the Port-Cros national park, with sheltered north-facing beaches and a south coast of cliffs and calanques. Wind-wise: a mistral that quickly raises chop in the little pass, with north-side anchorages well protected by the island.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the village’s single harbour, facing the Giens peninsula. The local classics: the Notre-Dame and Argent beaches, neighbouring Port-Cros island and the crossing to La Tour Fondue. High season: from June to September — in the park’s core, buoys and anchoring zones are regulated, plan ahead.
