About This Anchorage
Théoule-sur-Mer sits at the S end of the Esterel massif, 6nm W of Cannes — an attractive small village with a castle, good restaurants, and a quieter atmosphere than the Cannes/Juan-les-Pins area. The anchorage is good in settled conditions with adequate Mistral shelter. Popular with Cannes overflow in summer.
