Brigitte Bardot frolicked on the beaches of St. Tropez in the '50s; now it's the playground of rap stars and international socialites. Most of the sandy hot spots lie southwest of town on the Baie de Pampelonne. But if you're not P. Diddy, take heart: you'll find a few family-friendly, public beaches where the sun, sand and waves are just as fabulous.

For over 400 years, the Citadel rings the city. Element of the defence of the port the most important between Antibes and Toulon for centuries, it is now one of the few monuments of this magnitude of the Var coast. Proud of its rich maritime past, Saint-Tropez has decided to create a modern museum in the dungeon of the town's citadel, allowing all visitors to discover the daily lives of men and women who shaped over the centuries the Saint-Tropez of today.
Scenic old fortress turned into an interesting, unpretentious naval museum, with stunning 380° views. The location is superb, but the best part is getting into the museum. With information in both French and English, the mixed media exhibits are appealing for both young and old. Quite low cost by St Tropez standards, the 3euros entrance fee is a steal! The exhibits are tastefully displayed and cover the true identity of Saint Tropez in the past 500 years. Indeed, St Trop was not just a picture perfect fishing village, but it turns out it had much greater importance. The exhibits cover commerce and fishing trips along Provence’s coast, as well as long hazardous voyages aboard large merchant sailing boats beyond Cape Horn, journeys along the coasts of Africa and India, and the age of luxurious liners. Amongst notorious Tropezian celebrities, I discovered De Suffren, who had volunteered to help the colonists during the American Revolutionary War. Highly recommended !

We have come to L‘Escalet a couple of times as we enjoyed the sporting activities possible in the bay - kayaking and SUP. There is a small paid parking nearby which has enough space when you come early. And the local kiosk stand offers some simple, but nice food after swimming. Nice place to explore.

It's a bit of a drive through a winding road but the view on the back of saint-tropez with its beautiful beaches of Pampelonne makes it worth it.

Paintings of St Tropez & surroundings by famous artists who lived & painted there. Wonderful to actually see the sites they painted right outside the door.

Beautiful beach, good looking people, cool atmosphere, in the evenings music from nearby beach bars. Part of the beach is clothing optional, which is also nice.

The old harbour of St. Tropez is always worth of visit. Especially if there is a sailing event like always end of September for great yachts. It’s a pleasure to walk along just looking at the boats and all kind of people and stop for a drink or meal in the many restaurants near the quai.

Finally the famous Gendarmerie (Police Station) is open to the public, and it is worth the visit. Young visitors and even more their parents will see well displayed furnitures, equipment and memorabilia from the famous films. You can shoot selfies at Gendarme Cruchot's desk, and ride his car. The visit is short but of quality.
