The length of the coastline, the beaches and seaside resorts of the La Croix Valmer, Ramatuelle, Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud and Le Lavandou can thus be discovered. Around the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, the villages of Gassin and Cogolin, as well that of Bormes-les-Mimosas, which is located 23 kilometres from Cavalaire, can all be visited.
