Municipal guide for Calanque de la Cron bathing and mooring rules.
Sheltered Cavalaire bay site with seagrass, rock blocks, and small life.
Sheltered Cavalaire bay site with seagrass, rock blocks, and small life.
Calanque Cron is a shallow sheltered bay site in Cavalaire-sur-Mer with small rock blocks, Posidonia meadows, and sandy patches. It works well as a relaxed snorkel or easy-dive choice when westerly winds make exposed sites less comfortable, and the cove's bathing and mooring rules mean access should be planned through a local operator. Expect blennies, gobies, wrasse, octopus, and small flatfish in the shallows.
