Calanque du Palangrier

Tucked between the Pointe de la Galère and the Baie de Port Man on Île de Port-Cros, this anchorage drops you right into the heart of one of France's most protected national park islands. You anchor off and swim ashore into remarkably clear, unspoiled water, with well-regarded hiking trails threading through dense maquis overhead. The island itself is the draw — no development, just raw Provençal coastline at its best.
