Description

Enclosed in the eastern part by the Pointe de la Fossette, the Baie de la Fossette is part of the district of the same name in the Town of Le Lavandou, a renowned French Riviera resort in the Var department.

The cove is smaller in size than the nearby and more famous calanques (west of the Fossette is Calanque Du Four des Maures), but it is also quieter and less crowded than the other bays in the area, especially in the summertime.

The bay is well sheltered from the easterly winds and mistral, but as it is very open to southerly winds and currents, in the event of southerly swell, it is best to forgo anchoring here and move to the Cavalaire-sur-Mer area.

As in many other areas of the department, the Var administration has set up in front of the bay’s beach an organized mooring area, with a total of 20 berths, where anchoring with dead bodies is prohibited and only those types of anchors that do not damage the seabed are allowed.

The Baie de la Fossette is an integral part of the territories of Natura 2000, a European organization that deals with the defense of threatened or particularly rare marine ecosystems.
The fact that it is less renowned than other better-known “colleagues” does not detract from the charm of the Baie de la Fossette, which offers visitors magnificent views of the Mediterranean scrubland, pretty buildings and verdant mountains that surround it.

The beach is located in the central part of the inlet, is made up of sand and small stones and is generally calmer than the other beaches of Le Lavandou.
In the center of the beach is a private bathing establishment where it is possible to rent beach equipment , but there is no shortage of free areas in which to set up without paying.
There are toilets and a few refreshment stands on the beach.
For those coming from the mainland, there is a parking lot not far from the beach. Leaving the car here you can then continue on foot along a pleasant path surrounded by vineyards.

La Baie de la Fossette is a good, quiet and un-chaotic starting point for exploring Cap Bénat and the islands of the Parc National de Port-Cros.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
