Le Trayas

Drop anchor here in the Esterel massif's dramatic red-rock coastline, where the rugged cliffs of the Corniche d'Or plunge straight into crystal-clear water. Le Trayas sits right on the boundary between Saint-Raphaël and Théoule-sur-Mer, making it one of the most wildly scenic anchorages on this stretch of the Côte d'Azur. You're roughly halfway between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, with the protected coves and volcanic orange-red rock formations of the Esterel as your backdrop.
