La anchorages d’Agay is a small bay located on the Estérel coast, in the territory of the Var department.

Agay is a small hamlet of the municipality of Saint-Raphaël.
Due to the ‘wild’ mooring that was harming the environment and marine flora (particularly the posidonia reef on the seabed) of the bay, in 2004 the municipal administration decided to regulate the stay of boats within the bay by organizing in the mooring areas for a fee.

The management of the moorings is entirely handled by a municipal body, the Régie Municipale Digue de l’Escale.
The mooring line of each station consists solely of a rope tied to a buoy and kept under constant tension by an intermediate float, which allows the line not to make contact with the bottom, even when no boat is moored.

The largest anchorage area is at the bottom of the anchorage, in the central part, opposite Agay beach, where pontoons located on the east side make it easier to go ashore.
You can also moor in the eastern part of the bay, near the beach and de la Baumette lighthouse.
On the west side of the bay is a small port, Port Chapelle, reserved mainly for small fishing boats, as the maximum draft is one meter.
In the area in front of the small landing is a third mooring area, intended for smaller boats.

There are three floating waste stations within the mooring area.
Customers can also use the toilets on the beach near the harbormaster’s station.
In addition, the municipal company that manages the mooring also provides a shuttle service to allow boaters to disembark ashore.

The anchorages are nestled below the Rastel D’Agay and are a natural gateway to the Massif de l’Estérel,an important protection from northern winds. It is also sheltered by Cap Dramont to the west and Pointe de la Baumette to the east.
The bay is very accorsed during the summer period. In case the anchorage is full (or for those who wish to stop outside the paid area) it is possible to moor ahead at the beach du Pourrousset, just outside the anchorages d’Agay, or in theanse du Camp-Long, located between the anchorage and Cap Dramont.

Arriving on the mainland, one finds oneself in the center of the small hamlet of Agay, where one can find a few restaurants, bars, a couple of hotels and a small supermarket.
Strolling along the seafront one can enjoy a beautiful view of the nearby mountains and Île d’Or, a small island dominated by an ancient tower.
There are three beaches in the bay, and in summer they know how to offer good times for kayaking and water-skiing enthusiasts.
The most renowned and picturesque one is de la Baumette, which owes part of its celebrity to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Sailing from the anchorages d’Agay, one can easily reach Saint Raphael and the port of Saint Lucia, one of the major ports of call on the French Riviera.
Agay can also be considered a good starting point to get to Cannes, which is just over 10 miles away.
Trekking enthusiasts can set out to conquer the summits of l’Estérel, to enjoy the magnificent views of the coastline completely immersed in the Mediterranean maquis.
