Overview

Grassy beach, surrounded by a palm grove set back from the shore. No other obstacles. Easy water entry, without shore break, but there are small pebbles before the sand. There isn't a huge amount of space. The usage rules are those recommended by the federation. The more adventurous can try to reach Porquerolles from Le Mérou.

Parking

From the airport, follow the sea northward towards the salt marshes. Before the Gapeau bridge, stop at the "les citrons" hotel. The parking is located under the palm trees. The parking area is adjacent to the spot

Hazards

No particular dangers apart from yourself. A catamaran club adjoins the site and cohabitation is perfect. Fishermen have their habits north of the site... To each their own lines!

Wind specificities

East wind is ideal. It's one of the two dominant winds in Hyères. In light summer conditions, the site is also usable because the wind brings you back to shore. However, it's not possible for beginners to learn here as the beach is quite busy and the palm trees are not very far away.
