Calanque de Bonne Eau, Sandy coastal inlet in Les Issambres, France
Description
Calanque de Bonne Eau is a sandy inlet in Les Issambres featuring two distinct sections with a main beach cove and a smaller creek bordered by pine trees. The area spans roughly 200 meters and combines open water views with sheltered spots among the forest.
History
The inlet became part of Germany's World War II defensive network along the Mediterranean coast when a concrete fortification was built nearby. This wartime legacy remains visible in the landscape today.
Culture
Local restaurants at the water's edge serve Mediterranean dishes that reflect the region's food traditions. The connection between the sea and dining remains a natural part of how this place functions.
Practical
Free parking is available near the beach with direct access to the water, but no equipment rental services operate at the site. Bring your own gear if you plan to swim or use water equipment.
Did you know?
A 100-meter forest path through pine trees connects the two sections and leads to a restaurant tucked away at the far end. This hidden passage means the back cove stays quieter than the main beach.
