Baie des Canebiers

Drop anchor in the Baie des Canebiers, one of Saint-Tropez's most scenic bays, where a sandy shore backed by pine trees gives the place an almost cinematic quality — and it literally is: this bay featured prominently in the classic French TV series Sous le Soleil. A sailing school operates on the beach, and the broader Saint-Tropez scene is just around the headland if you feel like heading ashore.
