The wild side of the peninsula: five walks along the sea, from an easy village stroll to the isthmus of Cap Taillat.

Away from the port, the Saint-Tropez peninsula is surprisingly wild: pine-shaded paths, hidden coves and turquoise water. The Sentier du Littoral, the coastal path marked in yellow, links most of the best walks in Saint-Tropez and leads to places otherwise reachable only by boat.

The great classic.
From the Tour du Portalet by La Ponche, follow the yellow markings past the old cemetery, the Baie des Canebiers, Cap des Salins, Pointe de Capon and Cap du Pinet, all the way to Pampelonne. Easy to moderate, with endless chances for a swim. Return by road or bus.
