To date, the Var coastline offers walkers a trail to cover more than 200 kilometres. In Saint Raphaël, the coastal path starts from the Port Santa Lucia to the Pointe de la Beaumette (Agay) and winds between the sea and the Massif de l'Estérel, a few metres above the waves, whose limpidity sometimes reveals the beauty of the seabed. It takes about 2h30 to cover a length of 8.5 km. Traced on the old customs officers' route, the trail includes so-called sporting passages, it is preferable to walk it with flat, non-slip shoes.
Part of the trail is also located between Fréjus and Roquebrune-sur-Argens.:
During your hike, admire the view of the port and the boats, the sea and the Red Rocks as well as the Golden Island. Discover quiet places, creeks and small beaches for a swimming break, a meal or even to go diving in turquoise water.
