Twenty minutes west · Red rock coast
Where the Esterel drops into the sea and the rock turns red. Small coves, a handful of tables on the water, and the best light on the coast at the end of the day.

From counters you eat standing up to the tables worth booking a week out.
Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min by car
Seafood · Bouillabaisse
On the harbour front at the Darse, feet almost in the sand. The bouillabaisse needs ordering forty-eight hours ahead and arrives in a boat; otherwise oysters and whatever came in that morning.
Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min by car
Fine Dining · Sea View
Up on the Corniche d’Or with the whole bay below. Set menus rather than à la carte. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min by car
Fisherman’s Table
Tiny, run by a couple, the fish landed by her husband that morning. Lunch only most days. The oysters are the reason to go.
Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min by car
All Day · Terrace
Wide glass doors straight onto the beach, open from breakfast to late. Not a destination kitchen, but the easiest table in Théoule and the view does the work.
The free public swims first, then the coast paths, then the clubs if you want a lounger.
Théoule · 15 min by train
Coastal Trail · Free · Esterel · 🚆 15min to Théoule

Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min west
Coastal Park · Free
A headland of red rock and small coves kept out of the developers’ hands. Steep down, easier back up by the other path. Clear enough to snorkel. Open from half seven.
Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min west
Cove · Cliff Jumping
Two small rocky coves either side of a point, with jumps from three metres up to fifteen for those who want them. Bring goggles and something on your feet.
Théoule-sur-Mer · 20 min west
Beach · Showers
The best-equipped of the coves, with toilets, showers and a restaurant. A kilometre walk from the parking. Very rocky underfoot, so swim shoes are not optional.
Le Trayas · 30 min west
Calanque · Wild
Red cliffs and clear water between Théoule and Saint-Raphaël, reachable from Le Trayas station. No facilities at all, so bring water. There is a naturist section.

Port de la Figueirette · 25 min by car
