Despite the site data listing no current, hazards note strong currents, so check conditions locally before committing to the deeper sections of the drop-off. Boat traffic is a real concern on the French Riviera, so deploy a surface marker buoy on your ascent.
Accessible by foot from Niolon or Méjean via coastal paths. From Niolon, follow the path along the railway, descend into the valley, pass under the railway bridge, and follow the marked trail to the calanque.
