Things to see and do Port Cros

A 4-hour loop from the dock, the Port-Man circuit begins with the plant trail, a route of 1 h 30 round-trip linking the village to the beach of Palud, allowing to discover the Mediterranean flora through a coastline offering beautiful views. Passionnés of flora, we recommend before you get the brochure "Plant trail" at the Maison du Parc (1,50 €): it will prove useful in deciphering the numbered plates marked throughout this first part. From the landing, go to the Post Office, take the first
track on the left, and logically follow the signs "plant trail". From Fort du Moulin to Fort de Port-Man (count approximately 1 h 30), follow the point of the Miladou and its point of view on the rock of the Rascas, the Beach of La Palud (final point of the plant trail), the tip of the Galley and its panorama on the long sand, then the beach of Port-Man. In normal time, the loop ends with the massif through the ruins of the Sardine, the pass of the Four paths and the road of the forts; in the event of fire danger, a half-turn will have to be made.

Located in the Port-Cros National Park, this small island offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Visitors can take advantage of the magnificent sandy beaches to relax and swim in the crystal-clear waters. Scuba diving enthusiasts will be delighted to discover the seabed's rich biodiversity. Hiking trails also allow you to explore the island and admire breathtaking panoramas. The Port-Cros National Park also offers guided tours of the island's flora and fauna. For history buffs, Fort Sainte Agathe offers an exhibition of contemporary art.
