Located in the northwestern part of the largest of the Hyères islands, Port de Porquerolles is the island’s only organized landing place.

The ports is naturally protected to the west by a rocky ledge and a breakwater to the east , which houses a floating platform for boat docking (676 berths available, half of which are reserved for visitors).

In addition, a buoy field has been set up in the port area for organized mooring of vessels no longer than 13 meters.
Anchoring and mooring with a mooring buoy outside the buoy field area are prohibited.
Access to the island’s waters is permitted only to recreational boats equipped with tanks for collecting sewage.
The harbor is well protected from southeasterly winds but, like most of the island’s coastline, offers no shelter from the mistral wind.

The port is the only organized marina on the island, but there is no shortage of bays and anchorages where it is possible to anchor freely, always respecting the regulations for the preservation of the environment, flora and fauna of the Parc National de Port-Cros, an entity created in the 1990s of which Porquerolles Island is an integral part.
Although the island is located within a nature reserve, its port is very busy in summer.

Local authorities are urging boaters to be on the lookout for any remaining colonies of Taulerpa taxifolia, the tropical “killer” algae that infests the area’s waters. The spread of the algae is being monitored, but any sightings should be reported. If any remnants of the algae remain near the anchor, it is advisable to clean the anchor before setting sail and not to throw the algae back into the sea.

The ports of Porquerolles are dominated by the presence of the 16th-century Fort de Saint- Agathe perched among the hills.

The landing site is in a very convenient location for reaching the island’s true center, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, and a few hotels. The island is exclusively pedestrian-only.
By following one of the island’s trails, surrounded by green forests and ancient forts, you can reach some of the island’s most beautiful beaches—wild, unspoiled, and surrounded by lovely pine forests. The closest ones are Plage de la Courtade and Plage de l’Argent.

Scuba diving enthusiasts will find the island’s crystal-clear waters an endless source of discoveries and surprises, thanks to the variety of underwater flora and fauna.

By renting a bicycle in the port area, it is possible to take a tour of the island and reach the smaller, more picturesque creeks in the southeastern part of the island.
Porquerolles is part of the Sanctuarie Pelagos, a European body created to safeguard cetaceans.

Close to Port-Cros and the Hyères Peninsula, Port de Porquerolles is an excellent landing point for exploring the beauty of the island.
