Port de Sainte-Maxime
Port de Sainte-Maxime sits right in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, giving you a front-row seat to one of the Côte d'Azur's most iconic stretches of coastline. The town behind the marina buzzes with a genuine, year-round local energy — Sainte-Maxime is the largest town on the gulf with nearly 14,000 residents, so you'll find real restaurants, markets, and shops rather than just tourist traps. It's a great base if you want the glamour of Saint-Tropez nearby without docking right in the thick of it.
