The Most Beautiful Hidden Coves and Secret Beaches Around Saint-Tropez

The Most Beautiful Hidden Coves and Secret Beaches Around Saint-Tropez – Azur Dream Saint-Tropez

Beyond the famous beaches of Pampelonne, the Saint-Tropez peninsula holds hidden coves accessible mainly by sea, far from the summer bustle. A wild cove, turquoise waters and umbrella pines: here are the most beautiful confidential spots to discover, ideally from the deck of a boat. Practical information on the peninsula’s beaches is available from the Ramatuelle Tourist Office.

Cap Taillat, the peninsula's most photogenic cove

Accessible on foot via a coastal path or, more comfortably, by sea, Cap Taillat offers a turquoise lagoon framed by pines and rocks. Its narrow sandbar, flanked by the sea on both sides, makes it one of the most sought-after coves on the French Riviera.

Cap Lardier, between unspoiled nature and crystal-clear waters

Classified as a protected natural area, Cap Lardier is home to several small, discreet coves, ideal for a peaceful swim. As the site is not accessible by car, arriving by boat remains the most elegant and fastest way to enjoy it fully.

L'Escalet beach, gateway to the wild coastline

Less crowded than Pampelonne, this white sand beach marks the start of the coastal path towards the coves of Cap Taillat and Cap Camarat. Its unspoiled setting makes it an ideal stop for a more intimate day at sea.

L'Anse de la Fontanette and the Bay of Gigaro

Nestled between La Croix-Valmer and Cavalaire, these secluded coves charm with their calm waters and setting still untouched by mass tourism. An ideal mooring spot for lunch with your feet in the water, away from prying eyes.

Exploring these hidden coves from a yacht or a semi-rigid boat

Most of these coves can only be reached on foot after a long walk, or by sea. Our selection of yachts in Saint-Tropez lets you reach these confidential moorings with complete discretion, while a semi-rigid boat offers greater agility to explore several coves in a single day. For a shorter, fully personalised outing, a private cruise remains the most flexible option.

A bespoke experience, from mooring to lunch

From its base in Saint-Tropez, Azur Dream organises the entire day at sea: boat selection, itinerary tailored to the weather and your wishes, a picnic hamper or a chef on board, transfers from your villa. These escapes naturally form part of our exclusive experiences, designed to reveal the peninsula's most secret side.
