Water sports fans are in for a treat in Cavalaire
If you’re already a water sports fan, then you’ve come to the right place by booking a
holiday rental in Cavalaire sur Mer ! Just about every water sport possible can be practised here, except maybe surfing because the sea is too calm in the beautiful protected bay ! Jet skiing fans will enjoy the Jet Game competition held in September each year, SCUBA diving fanatics will be able to explore the varied sea life with some interesting dive spots, all easily accessible, including 12 shipwrecks in the bay itself ! For the less adventurous among you, just take a snorkel and mask to explore the seabed just off the beaches and marvel at the varied Mediterranean sea life including octopus, star fish and sea urchins while swimming among shoals of fish. Learn to sail, try windsurfing or kite surfing or hire a motor boat to explore the stunning coastline. Rent kayaks and stop off at the many hidden creeks completely inaccessible from the land… or even try flyboard !
The Golden Islands, a natural park full of surprises
While on
holiday in Cavalaire, take a boat trip and visit the stunning
Golden Islands of Port Cros, Porquerolles and Levant. Just off the
Var coast and easily accessible on the many ferry crossings that run every day from many ports including Cavalaire sur Mer, these 3 islands are a paradise for those looking for peace and quiet and untouched nature. There are almost no cars allowed on these islands and so the best form of transport is a mountain bike or your legs ! You can hike around the islands to discover the fauna and flora on land and in the clear blue waters and fall under the spell of these enchanting places. On Porquerolles island, spend long days on the beautiful beaches with pristine white sand backed by pine forest, admire the rugged, rocky cliff faces and tiny creeks and coves which will make you want to head off on a desert island adventure. Visit the forts, Saint Anne church and the windmill and of course enjoy a meal of delicious fresh fish in one of the many delightful restaurants on this island. In Port Cros, go snorkelling or SCUBA diving or if you prefer to stay dry, take a trip on a glass bottom boat to discover the treasures hidden under the surface of the magnificent clear blue waters. Levant island is the least visited of the 3 islands but is particularly popular with naturists – one of the most famous naturist camps in France was built there in 1931. So much to see and do from your
holiday rental in Cavalaire sur Mer.
