Description of the walk

(S/E) Start from the car park above Camp Long beach at Dramont in the municipality of Saint-Raphaël.
Follow the track heading south-east. It makes a hairpin bend to the right, then climbs south-west and turns left before reaching a junction.

(1) Continue on the wide path straight ahead towards the south-east. The path enters the heath and leads to the coast above the cliffs. Continue westwards along the cliff top. The path climbs higher and joins another track that winds upwards to the right. Follow it to reach the road.

(2) Turn right and continue straight ahead towards the north-east to reach the viewpoint. Superb view of Agay Bay, the red rocks of the Estérel and the Cap du Dramont semaphore.
Turn around.

(2) Continue straight ahead on the road to reach the Dramont semaphore.
This military site is not accessible, but you can go around it on the right via a path and, just before the bench, turn left onto the path and then take the stairs to reach a promontory offering a magnificent view of Île d'Or, Saint-Raphaël Bay and the semaphore with Agay Bay and the Estérel in the background.
Retrace your steps.

(2) Turn right, taking the track heading south-southwest. Follow this track, which heads west and then passes under a climbing wall.

(3) When the track turns right towards the north-west, take the path on the left that winds down to the right of a rock. This path leads to small coves facing the Île d'Or. Continue on the right towards the north-west, following a fence (Maison Forestière du Poussaï) on your left until you reach a small road.

(4) From this road, turn left (southwest) to reach Port du Poussaï via some steps.
Retrace your steps, then continue on this road to the left heading northeast.
Follow this road until you reach the intersection you passed at the start of the hike.

(1) Return to the car park (S/E) by following the same route you took on the way there.

It was very convenient; we arrived by train.
Some beautiful views.
After completing this circular path, we continued along the coastal path to Boulouris, where we caught the train back to St Raphaël.

A very pleasant family walk by the sea. Magnificent views. Just to note: the summit around the semaphore is not accessible (fencing). The other small summit is worth the effort.

Magnificent views for an easy hike.
Be aware that it gets very busy during the holidays, but honestly, the scenery is worth it!

I couldn't find the path leading to the little port of Poussie, so I took the track instead, which was a shame! Otherwise, the hike was beautiful.

A beautiful hike, with some remarkable views. To be avoided during school holidays, of course, as it is very busy and some of the "walkers" show little respect for the environment (litter, rubbish, plastic). A shame! The steep, stony descents require suitable footwear.

A lovely hike with sea views along most of the route and easy-to-follow directions (I activated the tracking mode on my phone app, which ensures you don't stray from the path). But you're not likely to get lost.
The landscapes are breathtaking on the red rocks of the Esterel.
We only came across a few people, but we did the hike in December, so it must be very busy in summer and not recommended in hot weather.
