Randonnée Le Sentier de la Mer

From the hilltop village, the path leads you to the sea, offering remarkable views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. You arrive at the Marines de Gassin and its shops passing near the Bourrian wineyard estate and the Stud / Polo Club. The return path is accessible to hikers, mountain bikers and riders who will appreciate the breathtaking view of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
This beautiful airy and shaded track offers you a glimpse of the diversity of the Gassin flora (pine forest, vineyard, oaks, broom, laurels).
You can enjoy the beach and swimming (supervised in season) before your return.
Practical information :
In summer, be sure to inform yourself before your departure that the trail is not closed because of the fire risk (information on the Var prefecture website or at the tourist office).
You will find a small watch on your route that you can bypass if necessary by taking a path a little further to the right.
Also be careful during hunting not to take the trail if it is blocked.
Be careful when crossing country roads without a protected passage.
The path allows you to join the protected multimodal track to reach Port Grimaud on your left and Saint-Tropez on your right.
