The calanque of Port d'Alon

A haven of nature where fragrant pinewoods, rugged cliffs, and sculpted rocks embrace a precious azure jewel.

A small cove near Bandol

The Calanque of Port d'Alon, sheltered from the bustle of the world, offers a wild refuge where crystal-clear waters beckon swimmers, and where kayaking or paddleboarding feel like a gentle ballet under the watchful shade of Aleppo pines clinging to the rock face. It is a place that invites you to lay down your picnic basket, settle onto a rock smoothed by the tide, and relish, with friends or family, the tranquil splendour of this unspoilt corner of the Mediterranean.

Between pines, rocks and blue water

To reach it, you can park your car (paid parking in summer) and walk a few hundred metres down to the beach. Alternatively, the coastal path that winds its way from Bandol to the port of La Madrague in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer is undoubtedly the most enchanting way to discover the calanque, revealing with each turn a new, breathtaking view over the Mediterranean and its rocky shores. The walk, easy but best done with sturdy shoes, promises moments of wonder, suspended between sea and sky.

A protected Mediterranean setting

Once watched over by customs officers on the lookout for smugglers, the Calanque of Port d'Alon is now a protected area, preserving the richness of its flora and fauna. Today it offers visitors an oasis of relaxation and well-being.
