Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the east along the Esterel coast. Bottom of sand with posidonia patches, set the anchor on visible sand. Sheltered from NW, N, W, SW and S thanks to the red rock headlands enclosing the cove. Exposed only from the east. Water tap marked on the beach.

Practical

Short day stop. Théoule-sur-Mer harbour lies 0.2 nm to the south and Port de la Rague 0.3 nm to the north for overnight shelter and services. Train station Théoule-sur-Mer on the Cannes-Saint-Raphaël line 300 m inland.

Ashore

The Sentier du littoral coastal path crosses behind the cove and leads south to the Pointe de l'Aiguille nature reserve in 1 km, a 12 ha headland of red volcanic rock classified since 1988. Village shops and bakery on avenue de Lérins 250 m from the beach.

History

Théoule-sur-Mer became an independent commune in 1929, detached from Mandelieu. The Château de La Napoule, 2 km north, was rebuilt from a 14th century Saracen tower by American sculptor Henry Clews between 1918 and 1937.
