Caps Lardier, Taillat, Camarat and Pampelonne
The 3 Capes have been protected areas for several decades. Lardier, Taillat and Camarat are the guardians of the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Overlooking the Bay of Pampelonne, Cap Camarat and its lighthouse watch over the legendary and magnificent Pampelonne beach.
Cap Lardier
The Domaine du Cap Lardier, owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, is managed and protected by the Port-Cros National Park and the commune of La Croix-Valmer. The beauty of the area is enhanced by the 6 km of undeveloped coastline, most of which is accessible to the public via the coastal path.
The Cap itself offers visitors an exceptional, unspoilt panorama, provided they make the effort to reach it.
Cap Taillat
Managed and protected by the Conservatoire d'espaces naturels PACA, Cap Taillat is one of the natural jewels of the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Sandwiched between Cap Lardier and Cap Camarat, it is distinguished by its remarkable sandy isthmus. On either side, the sea offers its most beautiful palette of blue.
Bordered by the coastal path (sentier du Littoral), it can be reached from La Croix-Valmer via Plage de Gigaro or from Ramatuelle via Plage de l'Escalet.
Cap Camarat
This site owes its beauty mainly to its dazzling colours: the deep blues of the sea, the luminous ochres and whites of the granite rocks and the greens of the vegetation.
Its forest of cork oaks and the shrubs in the undergrowth make it a wild site.
On the heights of the Cap, the Camarat lighthouse rises to 180 metres. It is the 2nd highest lighthouse in France in terms of the height of its light source above sea level. From here, you have a splendid view of almost the entire coastline of the commune, including the Bay of Pampelonne and its superb beach.
Pampelonne beach
Mythical and magnificent, this white sandy beach stretches for 5 km and offers, above all, a remarkable natural setting with its turquoise waters and fine sand. The vineyards and wooded hills of Parasol Pines and cork oaks provide a vast green setting.
Pampelonne is accessible to all, with a wide range of establishments and large "public" areas where you can spread out your towel and enjoy the sun and sea while contemplating the landscape.
