Beaches
There are many exotic and well patronised beach clubs from which
to choose, but the port has its own quiet and sandy residents
beach. It's about 800 yards away and is the ideal place to be
when it's noisy everywhere else. The gently sloping beach at
Marines de Cogolin is only 2 km away and offers good swimming
and water sports without beach club prices. It's also adjacent
to the largest hypermarket in the area. |
St Tropez
Is very much the main visitor attraction; ocean going
super-yachts, exotic cars, stars on parade and a seemingly non-stop
fashion show make this the place to see and be seen. It can be
very expensive to dine here, more so if you have a view of the harbour,
but reasonably priced restaurants are to be found in the old part of
town near the Citadel.
Cogolin
Is a small town close by that has managed to embrace tourism
whilst still retaining the essential French 'laissez faire'
attitude that is reminiscent of Mediterranean life. It is
located on the edge of the Maures mountains and faces the Gulf
of St Tropez. |
