Escampobariou, also known as Escampo or Escampo Bariou…
Escampo and the Wine Barrels
Escampobariou Cape is the southwest point of the peninsula. It’s Provençal name means breakaway barrels. May be because sometimes the barrels transported overturned in the sea at this place where the chop and swell are very confused and heckle ships.
A nice Shelter during Mistral
Escampo’s mooring is a refuge when Mistral wind blows. You can dive there calmly when the wind agitates the sea. But it is not only interest the site that has much to offer. We can do baptism here but also dives for all skill levels. To see : walls full of life and color through the chimney (18 to 9m) and finally into the cave sheltered cave.
Escampo is also the start of a very interesting drift dive.
