Calanque de Maubois — Attraction in Draguignan

What can I say? This is one of my favourite beaches, not only in France or Europe but in the world. It is about a 30 minute drive from Cannes on the curvy coast road that leads to Saint Raphael. If you blink, you'll miss it as you can't see it from the road. Either use your Navigation system or pay attention to a lot of parked cars on the side of the road for no apparent reason. That is the first point, unless you want to park your car precariously on the side of the busy and quite tight road, get there quite early to catch yourself one of the off-street parking spaces. Once parked up, head down the first flight of steps until you get your first glimpse of the gorgous cove and it's beautiful turquoise waters. Then continue down until you reach the red pebble beach which is best with swimming shoes. Make the most of the beautiful waters by taking your snorkeling equipment as there are quite a lot of fish including quite large sea bass and bream. I recommend sitting to the left of the stairs as the sun disappears at about 4pm on the beach to the right. But what ever you do, DO go there...

Great place ! Not to much people , no to much parking . You need to park in the sides of the road where you can obviously see that it is possible , it can be 500m away or so , the road is narrow but not heavy traffic on it . You need to go dowm though a stair and you arrive to the stone beach . You can snorkle and see some curious fishes , water is absoluty clear . You can be there with 60 -100 people at the time . I advice you to get there al 10-11. Nice bath , nice views ,...

Magnifique spot, accessible (via un escalier d'une petite centaine de marches) et préservé. Plage de petits galets, qui ne font pas mal aux pieds mais qui peuvent être brûlants. N'oubliez pas vos masques et tubas, l'endroit regorge de poissons Smet les plus chanceux verront des poulpes. Possibilité de faire des sauts à 2-3m au dessus de l'eau. Bonus : un bateau vendeur de glace accoste de temps en temps pour le bonheur de tous. Peu de places de parking (environ 10 sur places), on peut se garer un peu plus loin mais il faudra oser marcher sur la route, peu large et pleine de virages sans trop de visibilité. Très belle expérience, preuve en est, on y est venu 3 fois sur notre séjour de 1 semaine et nous...
