A stones throw from the mouth of the port is the popular destination of the Pointe D’Aguile (Eagles Rock) where you drop the anchor and swim in crystal clear water. Depending on your constitution you can choose to jump off the high rocks (at your own risk!!) found on shore, or watch the more daring do so from the cave that cuts through under the cliffs from which you can swim from one side to the other.

After your cliff jumping adventures, head just along the coast a few hundred meters for a coffee and an ice cream at the easy going Cabane Pecheurs (and by coffee I mean Mojito!)

Theoule-Sur-Mer is another hotspot for the rich and famous boasting the highest cost per square footage in the world. The more observant will notice Pierre Cardins architectural masterpiece of ‘Bubble’ houses high on the cliffs. For boaters though it is a peaceful corner of the bay of Cannes where you can escape some of the higher traffic areas and swim or sunbathe in peace.

Comprising the iron ore red rocks that make up much of the far skyline when viewed from Cannes, the Esterel is the seafront road that joins Cannes with Frejus and beyond. The coast is a series of small inlets into tiny bays where you can anchor in seclusion and a take in some of the most beautiful scenery on offer from the French Riviera.

Follow the Esterel along from La Rague for around half an hours cruise and you will find yourself at the bay of Agay. Agay is a natural Horseshow bay the offers sheltered mooring bouys for safe and easy tying up while you visit the local restaurants and beach clubs. Agay is also an excellent stopping off point either on the way to or from St Tropez.

On the right as you enter the bay, you will see a number of bouys available to tie off on for the day for a small fee. Included in the fee is transport to the shore and back on bord the managements boat – helpful when you can’t face the swim back after lunch.
