Description

Located in the northeastern part of Porquerolles, the largest of the islands in the Hyères archipelago, the baie de l’Alycastre is a wide inlet in the northeastern part of the island.

The bay, overlooked by the Fort de l’Alycastre and surrounded by lush vegetation and Mediterranean pines, is one of the most picturesque and wild places on the island and is well protected from the east winds.

One of the ideal mooring spots is within the two Criques du Lequin, ravines located at the west end of the bay and to the left of the large beach of Notre Dame, which enjoy the shelter of the Pointe du Lequin.

This area offers shelter from the easterly winds, but does not provide shelter from the mistral wind. There are very few places on Porquerolles Island where one can enjoy true shelter from the mistral. These include theAnse du Bon Renaud.

The fort du Lequin marks the channel of access to the two bays for boaters.
Among the advantages of mooring in these coves is that they are conveniently located for walking, near the ports and the center of the island.

Alternatively, you can also give fonda in front of the plage de Notre Dame, protected from the east winds.
The setting is very pleasant and you can enjoy the pleasant shade provided by the pine forests. The sand is fine and clear and the area is generally less crowded than the others because it is further from the port area. Attention must be paid, however, to the fact that the seabed, from the coast to a distance of about 300 meters, remains rather shallow.
The beach is also accessible from the mainland via a series of paths.

The beach de l’Alycastre, located between the inlets du Lequin and the plage de Notre Dame, is also well sheltered from the east winds and enjoys good shade.

Access to the beaches at the northeastern end of Baie de l’Alycastre is difficult and sometimes dangerous, and mooring the surrounding waters is not recommended.

The island of Porquerolles is part-along with that of Port Cros-of the Parc National de Port Cros, an entity created to preserve the incredible diversity of the land and seabed of the islands of the Hyères aripelago.

La baie de l’Alycastre is an excellent landing point to enjoy the wild beauty of Porquerolles in a calm and picturesque setting.

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.
