Port de l'Ayguade du Levant

Drop anchor off Île du Levant, the easternmost of the Hyères islands, sitting about 23.5 km from the mainland and separated from Port-Cros by the narrow Passe des Grottes. Most of the island is a French military zone, but the small nudist village of Héliopolis at the western tip gives it a genuinely quirky character unlike anything else along this coast. The waters here are clear and sheltered enough to make it a rewarding anchorage, with Port-Cros just a short sail away if you want to explore further.
