Port Gallice

Located in the western part of Golfe Juan, near the Cap d’Antibes, Port Gallice is one of the most sheltered access landings on the Côte d’Azur

The port consists of a breakwater equipped with pontoons for recreational boats and an outer breakwater. The number of places for boats is fair, and there are as many as 144 berths reserved for public mooring.
Subject to the approval of the local port authorities and where the availability of places permits, it is possible to moor in the 12 noon to 2 p.m. time slot for two hours only.

The massif de l’Esterel acts as a natural barrier of the port area, protecting it discreetly even from westerly winds.
Access to the port is open in a northwesterly direction and is fairly quiet; it is only good to watch out for some rocky shoals camouflaged by the sea, located northeast of the entrance gate. However, this obstacle is marked by a perimeter of lighted buoys.

The landing is well organized and offers a wide range of services, including a 500-car parking lot for those arriving by land, a food commissary for supplies, a laundry, and a free sewage collection service.
Restaurants, hotels, and stores can be found in the immediate vicinity of the port area.

Those arriving at Port Gallice can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding green headlands and the archipelago of the Îles de Lérins, rich in lush vegetation and famous because they are said to have been the prison of the legendary iron-masked man prisoner of the reign of Louis XIV.

Those who wish to anchor outside the port area, on the other hand, can move slightly away from Port Gallice, heading south, and reach the old fishing harbor du Crouton, to anchor in the stretch of water in front of it, in the southern part.

Port Gallice is part of the Cap d’Antibes territory and is an ideal starting point for reaching many of the surrounding resorts. The center of Juan Les Pins is less than a kilometer away and the port of Antibes can be easily reached by boat by rounding the Cap d’Antibes promontory, but it is also possible to reach the city center by land, as the distance is less than three kilometers.

The heart of Cannes and its famous Promenade de la Croisette are also just over 10 kilometers away and are easily reached by car or train, starting from the Golfe-Juan-Vallauris station.

The stretch of coastline between Port Gallice and Port Camille Rayon is a succession of tree-lined boulevards that fully reflect the typical Côte d’Azur waterfront idea, full of conveniently accessible beaches, many of them equipped.

Port Gallice is an excellent port of call to set out to discover the Côte d’Azur.
