Heliport - Quai du large :
Located at the end of the Quai du Large, between the two lighthouses, the heliport provides a public helicopter landing area, available on request. Helicopter traffic is particularly busy during the events season.
For this reason, during helicopter movements near the landing area, pleasure sailors must increase their vigilance and prudence near the heliport when entering or leaving the port
