Port de Santa-Lucia (Ville de Saint-Raphaël)

Port de Santa-Lucia is the third-largest marina on the Côte d'Azur, with around 1,630 berths spread across northern and southern basins — so finding a spot here is rarely the headache it can be elsewhere along this stretch of coast. It sits just 1.5km from central Saint-Raphaël, meaning you can walk into town for a decent meal or supplies without any fuss. It's a solid year-round base, and from here you're well positioned to head out along the Estérel coastline or hop over to the Îles de Lérins.
