Les Issambres offers several options for planning your stay: the coast, walking, maritime activities and cultural history. First, consider what you want your days to focus on. Along the coast, you’ll find both coves with varied scenery and a longer beach. Walking routes, nautical activities and historic sites add to the choice. For planning your visit, it’s important to note that the market takes place year-round on a set day of the week, while seasonal beach services and maritime activities may vary.
Coves, Beach and Snorkelling
The Calanque de Bonne Eau consists of two parts: a sandy cove and a smaller cove surrounded by rocks and vegetation. Plage de San PeĂŻre offers a different coastal setting. The beach is 300 metres long, umbrella pines provide shade, and it is considered suitable for families. Seasonal services may vary.
At the Calanque de Bonne-Eau, there is a free, marked underwater educational trail. It was introduced in 2025 and can be accessed with a mask, snorkel and fins. If you’re planning to snorkel, check local sea conditions and access before your visit.
Walking Routes and Cultural History
The Vallon de la Gaillarde offers three walking routes through natural and historic landscapes. Along the way, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the Esterel Massif. As trail conditions may vary, it’s a good idea to check them before setting out. The three routes offer a choice; the scenery and views are common features of them all.
The Dolmen de l’Agriotier is also located in the Vallon de la Gaillarde. It lies at an altitude of 198 metres and has been classified since 1910. The Chapelle des Dolmens is an open-air chapel near the site of a former dolmen, in a wooded setting in Les Issambres. The Gallo-Roman fishpond of Les Issambres reveals another aspect of the area’s history: it consists of three interconnected basins and has been listed as a historic monument since 1939.
Maritime Activities and Weekly Market
For trips on the water, the marina of Les Issambres is the starting point for maritime shuttles to Saint-Tropez, Grimaud and Sainte-Maxime. Routes and timetables may vary seasonally, so check the times for your travel dates. The Centre Nautique des Issambres also offers sea kayaking, with single, double and baby kayaks for all ages and experience levels. Families travelling with children can find lessons and training in Optimist sailing, catamaran, dinghy and boards. Lesson times and seasonal programmes may change.
The Marché des Issambres takes place year-round on Mondays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Place San Peïre and along Promenade Beaumont. The stalls offer local food, crafts and textiles. Its regular weekly schedule is a useful point of reference if you’d like to plan your stay around a visit to the market.
Planning Your Stay and Accommodation
The market runs weekly throughout the year; for shuttles, lessons and seasonal beach services, check the relevant times or offerings in advance. This will help you coordinate your accommodation dates with your travel plans and decide whether to focus on the coast, walking, water sports or cultural history.
