Hercules Port is a natural bay at the foot of the ancestral
rock of the princes of Monaco.
It is one of the few, if not the only deep-water port of the
French Riviera. It was used as a trading port by the Greeks
and Romans but had the disadvantage of being poorly sheltered
from the easterly winds. This prompted the erection of two piers
in the early twentieth century which went some way to providing
better protection.

FONTVIELLE HARBOUR
At the very heart of the residential area of Fontvieille, the
marina offers full facilities for both amateur sailors who are
simply passing through and longer-stay visitors.
Only fifty years ago Fontvieille was nothing more than a narrow
stretch of sand where the rock plunged into the sea. The emergence
of a new area in Monaco was linked to the economic development
of the principality. During the development of these new plots
of land (17 hectares encroaching on the sea) one section was
set aside for the creation of a marina. Sitting at the foot
of the Rock of Monaco to the east, the Port of Fontvieille is
certainly one of the most sheltered in the region, being protected
from the easterly winds by the rock and from the southerly and
westerly swell by the large sea wall, which provides protection
to the entire Fontvielle area
