Agay combines a varied coastal landscape with a range of water-based activities and access to the Estérel massif. The Rade d'Agay lies between Cap Dramont and Pointe de la Baumette and offers three sandy beaches. Agay is also a natural gateway to the Estérel. When planning your trip, it is worth first deciding whether the bay, water sports or the massif will be the main focus of your stay.
The bay and Port d'Agay
The three sandy beaches give the Rade d'Agay a distinct coastal character. Plage d'Agay also has a sailing club, as well as opportunities for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. If you are interested in activities on the water, this offers a different focus from the diving and water sports offered by other providers in Agay.
Another notable spot by the water is the small Port d'Agay. It extends into the Agay River and has space for small motorboats. If you want to include port operations in your plans, check the operating arrangements and seasonal access before your trip.
Sailing, paddling and other water sports
The Base Nautique Municipale d'Agay rents out sea kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are also available at Plage d'Agay, which also has a sailing club. These details describe different ways to enjoy water sports in Agay. Rental operations and seasonal availability may change, so it is worth checking before making plans.
Agay Watersports offers lessons for beginners aged four and up with a state-certified instructor. The listed activities also include water skiing, wakeboarding, and towed tubes and other towable equipment. If you plan to take lessons, confirm the age requirement and lesson details before booking. Water sports operations may be seasonal.
Diving is also available in Agay. Agathonis Plongée offers independent and guided dives, training at various diving levels, introductory dives, fin tours and snorkelling. Dives start on the Agay River and head east towards the Cap Roux marine protected area. Agathonis Plongée also offers dives amid the Estérel, departing from the Bay of Agay. The range includes everything from introductory and training sessions to guided or independent dives; availability may vary seasonally.
Local history and tradition
One specific historical connection to Agay is the wedding of Saint-Exupéry and Consuelo Suncin: they married on 12 April 1931 in the chapel of Agay. Those interested in the area's history can thus find a clearly dated connection to an event that took place in Agay. Agay is also home to the Fontaine pour le Petit Prince.
The local jousting tradition, which has been part of Agay since 1953, includes training sessions, demonstrations and friendly tournaments where the Agathoniens meet. This tradition adds another dimension to the area's coastal activities. The forms mentioned are part of the historical continuity of the jousting tradition; they are not an event calendar for any particular travel date.
