Vieux Bassin

Vieux Bassin is a classic old harbour sitting just 11 km from some of the most unspoiled beaches on the Mediterranean coast — so you can easily split your time between the water and the sand. There's a laid-back, authentic feel here, with solid protection from wind and swell and good holding if you're anchoring. The preserved coastline nearby keeps things refreshingly uncrowded compared to the more developed stretches of the French Med.
