Port d'Agay

Drop anchor in the stunning red-porphyry bay of Agay, one of the most sheltered and visually dramatic anchorages on the Côte d'Azur, ringed by the rust-colored cliffs of the Esterel massif. The water here is remarkably clear and calm, and the small village ashore has a quay lined with traditional pointu fishing boats, a waterfront garden, and enough cafés and shops to sort out supplies or a decent meal. It's also a great jumping-off point for hiking into the Esterel mountains right behind the bay.
