Underwater trail, Water sports

Snorkeling in la Palud (Port Cros)

Hyères

This underwater trail is an opportunity to discover the Mediterranean underwater flora and fauna in the marine protected area of the Parc National de Port-Cros.

You can learn to recognize the species you come across thanks to 6 buoys equipped with underwater information panels along the way. The treasures of the Mediterranean will no longer hold any secrets for you.

At depths of just two meters, you can watch the posidonia meadow waltz to the rhythm of the waves. As you get closer, you'll spot sea urchins, mother-of-pearl and the many fish that shelter there. Further out, you'll come across species that prefer the dark, such as encrusting anemones and sponges. Finally, it's in the deeper scree that you'll be lucky enough to come across groupers, moray eels and maybe even octopus!

Free access for all independent swimmers equipped with fins, mask and snorkel.
An immersible brochure presenting the main species is on sale
at the Maison de Parc.
