From Callelongue, the Mounine cove is located halfway between the Semaphore pass and the Marseilleveyre cove.
This small, very narrow and shallow cove is home to exceptional flora and fauna.
Its many cavities provide natural shelter for scorpion fish, sea bream, starfish and other sea urchins.
At the exit of the cove, the depth becomes greater and remains so until the Mounine islet. From this islet, sometimes subject to violent winds, begins the Plateau des chèvres (about 10 meters deep) which connects the coast to the islands of Jarre and Jarron located opposite.
