Cap Taillat — Local services in Draguignan

Totally worth the effort for an unforgettable beach experience. We visited in August 2020 with our 8 year old twins and had a gorgeous day here.

We tried to arrive early as others had suggested but only managed to make it around 10.30am. We ended up in a traffic queue that we discovered was for the main Escalet beach parking lot, so we ended up driving around this queue to bypass the first parking lot. It is better to drive up the residential street where halfway up the top there is another booth that sells tickets for street parking further up. We paid 4 Euros (cash only) and managed to find the last spot on the residential street by 11am. From here, we walked down the residential road to the end, where you turn left down a dirt track and walk about 30 minutes along a coastal trail.

This whole walking trail is just stunning and there are many coves that you can choose to stop at - some that allow nude sunbathing just FYI :) We opted to keep going until the very end at stop at the last cove just before Cap Taillait beach. There is no shade here but we set up a makeshift shelter with drift wood and towels. We stayed for about 5 hours, swimming and having a picnic and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The water is unbelievably clear. We saw 1 jellyfish so beware.

After we hiked back to our car, we drove up to Ramatuelle village for dinner. A...

The place is not that easy to access. We wish we could see helpful reviews and information before our hike there in October 2024. Pay attention that you have to walk about at least 45 min from the parking lots of Bd de La Praya, 83350 Ramatuelle (or the longer, second option from Plage de Gigaro). Yes, you need to walk from the parking lot! From Ratatouille! To find the pathway is also not easy. Please see my pictures to find tge signs and tracking path more easily. There are hardly signs to find the way. Better luck for you! The track is beautiful ! Do not forget you tracking shoes and water. People and groups coming opposite your way may block you and stop many times. Be patient 😉. Please respect each other. No acces for wheelchairs, strollers and bicycles. Please...

Vous accédez au cap en vous rendant en voiture à la plage de l'escalet. Le parking y est gratuit pour les lève tôt, sinon c'est 4€50 environ pour la journée. Les chemins pour s'y rendre sont aisés, par le littoral donc les rochers c'est assez escarpé faut crapahuter.. Mais vous êtes au plus proche du panorama qui s'offre à vous avec la mer magnifique. Le sentier quand à lui est très accessible. La plage du cap taillat est vraiment à déconseiller car trop d'algues et de vase, l'odeur est insupportable. Je vous conseille soit celle de l'escalet et les quelques criques vers le cap (prisées dès 9/10h du matin), soit celle qui est à 100m du cap en continuant le chemin qui est très large et étendue. Par contre pas de chance, c'est infecté de méduses... Cela reste à faire mais ne perdez pas votre temps à continuer, le paysage est moins beau, plus sinueux et aucune...
