About This Anchorage
Anse des Salettes on the E coast of Port-Cros is a marine park anchorage with pristine water and excellent holding on clean sand. The national park protection means the underwater ecosystem is undisturbed — snorkelling reveals grouper, moray eels, octopus, and abundant sea life. Mooring buoys operate in season. Slightly quieter than the more famous La Palud anchorage. Full national park rules apply.
