Golfe de Porto Novo

Golfe de Porto Novo is one of those places that feels like a secret — reachable only by sea or a 30–45 minute hike through the maquis scrubland, which keeps the crowds well away. You anchor off a wild, unspoiled beach stretching around 350 metres of sand and rock at the back of the gulf, with zero vendors or restaurants in sight. Bring everything you need, because that's exactly the point.
