Calanque du Four à Chaux
Drop anchor just off this sandy beach on the northwest tip of the Giens Peninsula, a sheltered little spot protected from the east wind and sitting just beyond the edge of the Madrague de Giens village. It feels genuinely tucked away — look for the hollows in the rocks where salt crystals form, and find a flat sun-warmed ledge among the Aleppo pines and cypresses lining the shore. About 17 minutes by sea from Hyères port, it's an easy reach with a naturally intimate feel.
