Saint Pierre Cove in Iles de Lérins - St Honorat - France

Here we have one of the most original small coves of Saint-Honorat Island. Roundly-shaped and surrounded by rock, it is hidden and thus not well-known.

The cove is frequented solely by regulars. On the shore there are pebblestones and a bit of sand. In the water, some stones and gravel but this is without doubt one of the easiest coves to swim in.

Here you'll see a bit of sand at the shoreline of the cove.

Continuing on the rock formation along the left, you'll discover another smaller cove. On the right you can see the Saint-Pierre chapel which is just in front of the abbey.

Access to this little cove is through a natural tunnel between this statue and the St. Pierre chapel.

The access point is the tunnel in the bushes on the right side of the photo.

Here is the access to the cove... not obvious that there is an exceptional cove on the other side. You have to crouch for about 3 meters.
