Calanque du Brégançonnet, Mediterranean bay in Porquerolles Island, France.

The Calanque du Brégançonnet presents steep limestone cliffs that descend into clear Mediterranean waters, creating a natural inlet on Porquerolles' southern coast.

This inlet has served as a natural shelter for vessels since ancient times, protecting boats from strong Mistral winds that sweep across the Mediterranean Sea.

Local fishermen maintain traditional practices in the waters around Brégançonnet, using small boats to catch fish in the early morning hours.

The beach combines sand and pebbles, with access through a marked trail from the main port, requiring a 45-minute walk through pine forests.

The underwater landscape features granite formations that create habitats for diverse marine species, including red coral and Mediterranean groupers.
