About this site
Medes Rock lies off Hyeres Island in the Var department along the French Riviera, part of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur coastline of southern France. The Hyeres islands, including Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the Levant, sit in the Mediterranean just off the mainland near the town of Hyeres, and small rocky formations like this one are typically reached by boat from harbors along that stretch of coast. Divers here have reported Cratena sea slugs and pea urchins among the marine life on the rock.
