License-free boating in Sanary-sur-Mer: the local waters

Sanary, with its harbour full of colourful pointu boats and its low-lying coast, is ideally suited to licence-free hire. To the west, the Pointe de la Cride and then the Portissol cove provide the first swims within a mile. After that come two miniature archipelagos within 6 hp range: Bendor island, a mile and a half towards Bandol, and above all Les Embiez, about two and a half miles out, with rocky coves and limpid water.

Operators generally set the zone between the bay of Bandol and Les Embiez, which already fills a fine day. Take care in the Brusc lagoon between Les Embiez and the shore: it is very shallow, so follow the buoyed channel strictly to avoid touching bottom. The thermal breeze rises in the afternoon and puts a light chop off La Cride — the morning slot remains the most comfortable.
