© SAINT P HYERES PLONGEE, 83400 LES SALINS D’HYERES
Pointe Escampobariou
★★★★☆
(407)
The famous chimney, which starts at -6 m and emerges along the drop-off at around -18 m, remains a unique feature of the Giens peninsula. Located under one of the most difficult capes to navigate in strong out winds, it marks the easternmost entrance to the Toulon harbor.
The site is very rich in octopus and conger eel and can sometimes be the scene of a very strong current, especially after a period of mistral.
