Description

Located west of Bandol and flanked to the west by the Calanque du Port d’Alon, the Baie de la Moutte is a fairly wide inlet.

The bay is completely open to the south and offers no shelter from winds from this direction . Instead, it offers excellent shelter from northern winds-including the mistral-and from westerly winds.

The seabed is largely made up of sand and posidonia meadows and are decent tenors, a detail that allows the bay to be considered a good spot to give anchor even at night, but avoiding areas where posidonia is present.

The bay is part of the Conservatoire du Littoral, a public body run by the municipality of Saint Cyr to preserve the local marine ecosystem.

As one of the most pleasant spots in the Bandol area in which to stop by boat, the passage of boaters here is very intense-especially in the summertime-but diminishes considerably as evening falls. To enjoy the tranquility of the bay therefore nothing better than to stay at anchor here for the night, provided the swell from the south is not too intense.

The whole bay is surrounded by high red rock cliffs, topped by thick green pine forests.

The bay is home to only one practicable beach: the plage de la Moutte, which is small and made up of pebbles. The beach has a wild appearance, does not offer any kind of service and is extremely quiet because access by land is quite difficult: one must necessarily start from the plage du Port d’Alon in the nearby bay of the same name and then take the coastal path that in about thirty minutes will lead to the beach de la Moutte.

However, the beauty of the crystal-clear water and the tranquility of the place are worth the trip.
The other beach present is the plage de la Galère, located in the eastern part of the inlet, on the shores of the point of the same name. Access to this beach, however, is currently prohibited.

The cove is also a popular destination for hikers and scuba divers.

La Baie de la Moutte can be considered an excellent starting point to reach Saint Cyr sur Mer and the La Ciotat area.

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.
