Cavalaire-sur-Mer
The Escape
LET THE SEA SET THE PACE.
A harbour, a long beach and Bonporteau for a different landscape. Cavalaire faces the sea and suits travellers who want it to play the leading role in their holidays.
LE GOLFE VIEW
“A simple day: sand, water, then the harbour.”
The waterfront and harbour form the heart of the resort. Bonporteau offers a more enclosed setting between rocks and greenery. Explore them as two distinct experiences.
A DAY HERE
Find your pace.
02 · DAYTIME
The Bonporteau landscape
Plan your access and enjoy a different stretch of coastline.
03 · EVENING
Back to the harbour
Return to the quays for a stroll and dinner to suit your mood.
Bonporteau: plan the descent to the cove
According to the tourist office, Bonporteau is reached by a sloping approach on foot or by bicycle. The cove combines sand and rocks; toilets, parking and a picnic area are listed. Allow for the uphill return when choosing your beach.
Walking the Corniche des Maures
Starting at Bonporteau, the tourist office distinguishes an 8 km route, listed as 3 hours with 360 m of elevation gain, from a shorter 3 km option via Le Fenouillet. The gradient calls for suitable shoes. Choose your route first and check path access before setting out.

THE USEFUL DISTINCTION
A beach base. A choice of geography.
Cavalaire lies on the coast southwest of the Golfe. It is a starting point for days focused on the sea; if Saint-Tropez is on your daily itinerary, consider the journeys too.
