Crique de la Pointe de l’Aiguille
Pointe de l'Aiguille: seasonal snorkel trail with posidonia.
Access is simple in summer, with buoyed stops, a lifeguard in season, and shallow habitat that is easiest to enjoy when the sea is calm.
About Crique de la Pointe de l’Aiguille
Crique de la Pointe de l'Aiguille is a seasonal snorkel trail in a protected bathing zone at Theoule-sur-Mer, with buoyed points of interest over posidonia, sandy patches, and rocky scree. It is an easy, family-friendly coastal stop in calm summer conditions, but the outer rocks can be more wave-beaten and current-affected when the sea is up. The trail is best approached as a shallow Mediterranean nature walk in the water rather than a long swim.
