Description of the site of natural interest
The trail is located on the Domaine du Rayol in the heart of the Maures corniche and opposite Port Cros National Park. Well sheltered from wind, the cove offers a wide diversity of habitats. Numerous biotopes are present here: rocky talus, overhangs, caves, sandy beds, seagrass meadows, all in depths of less than 4 metres.
