This town needs no introduction! Sitting in the cockpit watching the world go by is certainly an interesting occupation here. Excdellent showers and toilets and good launderette.

Apart from the marinas, there is a good anchorage south of the breakwater in the NE corner of Golfe de la Napoule. The holding is firm in mud. In winds from the south, north of Ile Ste. Margerite provides an alternative spot with moderately good holding.

10 ton crane, 50 ton travel hoist, fuel. This marina area appears scruffy, but the marina is well-run and the shower blocks are very good (and free!). The chandlery in the port is very comprehensive.
