Visit Saint Raphael
Sea side
Beaches and creeks rival each other in beauty. They are both intimate and immense along the Mediterranean, revealing breathtaking landscapes and colours.
Not to be missed are the 36 kilometres of beach, the Corniche d'Or with its crystal-clear waters linking St-Raphaël to Cannes, the coastal path with its unique viewpoints, and the Agay harbour, the gateway to the Estérel massif.
On sunny days, take for a day trip to St Tropez or discover the Lérins Islands (off Cannes).
We are close to the historic port, from which you can embark on a giant catamaran trip or hire a boat for a more intimate trip.
Land side
The Massif de l'Estérel can be discovered on foot, by bike or on horseback. This Natura 2000 listed site is a priceless natural treasure known throughout the world for its almost red earth, its cliffs that fall sheer into the sea, its winding paths revealing exceptional viewpoints.
Cap Roux is one of the remarkable sites. For those who like to play golf, there are 3 golf courses within 20 minutes of our establishment:
