La Sèche de Saint-Elme

Also known as: Le Sec de Saint-Elme

The Sèche de Saint-Elme lies facing the small port of Saint-Elme in the bay of Les Sablettes. Its small plateaux, overhangs and a fault attract crustaceans such as galatheids, young spiny lobsters, crabs and even lobsters. Cavities on the other side shelter groupers and schools of corbs, and barracudas are often seen in the blue. The site is protected from most winds but sensitive to the mistral.
