Calanque du Petit Caneiret, Mediterranean beach near Saint-Raphaël, France
Crique du Petit Champ de Cannes is a small cove on the French Mediterranean coast near Saint-Raphaël, surrounded by tall pine trees and rocky cliffs. The water is clear and the cove has a natural beach with rock formations along the shoreline.
The area was an important point on ancient trade routes connecting Roman ports along the Côte d'Azur. The cove retained its natural form over the centuries and was never artificially modified.
The cove draws local families who swim and snorkel in its shallow waters during the summer season. Residents use this spot as a quiet escape from the crowded beaches found elsewhere along the coast.
The cove is reached by a short walk from the parking area and is suitable for beginner snorkelers. Visitors should wear water shoes since the rock formations along the shore have sharp edges.
The cove takes its name from an old field designation that hints at early land use in the area. Few visitors realize that local divers value the spot for its rich underwater life.
