About This Anchorage
Grand Langoustier at the western tip of Porquerolles is wilder and quieter than the famous Notre-Dame beach — fewer boats, magnificent rock formations, and the restored Langoustier tower (16th century). The anchorage is good in N/NW winds with the island providing Mistral shelter. DONIA app essential — Posidonia is widespread at the W tip.
