Description

Bounded to the north by the point of the same name and not far from the Baumette area, the Calanque d’Anthéor is part of the municipal area of Saint Raphaël and is a well-known and popular spot for boaters who sail this stretch of the Côte d’Azur.

The bay enjoys excellent shelter from westerly, northerly, and fair protection from northwesterly winds, making it a good place to anchor and find shelter on days when the mistral blows.

However, the heavy traffic and the great crowding-especially in peak season-make it a anchorage where it is not easy to anchor in peace: in some cases , after admiring its beauty, it may be better to leave the bay and go to seek shelter in one of the smaller and less frequented creeks located a little further south.
In the creek, the limit of approach to the coast of the boats is marked by a row of white buoys.

The charm of this anchorage, however, is certainly worth a visit.
Immediately recognizable to those who approach it due to the presence of the imposing ancient viaduct, the calanque d’Anthéor offers visitors’ eyes magnificent contrasts between the blue of its waters and the dark red of the surrounding mountains and rocks, all surrounded by patches of vegetation and the delicately colored buildings.

The bay is about a couple of kilometers from the Calanque des Anglais and the Baumette area and only 500 meters from the Anthéor-Cap Roux train station, making it a popular tourist destination.

The area is also popular with scuba divers because of the wealth of underwater flora but also because of the possibility of coming across interesting underwater wrecks.

In the northwestern part of the calanque, near the Viaduc d’Anthéor, is the plage de Anthéor, the only sandy beach in the calanque. Its surface area is not very large (it is just over 80 meters long) and is accessible by land from the D559 highway that passes just behind it. There is only one organized parking lot for cars in the area, which can accommodate up to 60 vehicles. Public showers and toilets are located on the beach, and around the bay it is not difficult to find camping sites, hotels, and a few restaurants.

In the southernmost part of Calanque de Anthéor, not far from the viaduct, are other small red rock beaches, less frequented than the large beach to the north.

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.
