Description of the walk

Park in the free car park at Plage de l'Argentière and start the walk at the information board.

(S/E) Walk east along the beach. Reach the end of the beach.

(1) Take the staircase (yellow markings throughout the walk) up into the wooded area and follow the path to the next beach.

(2) Walk along Plage du Pellegrin then continue along the path overlooking the sea (enjoy the view from Pointe du Pellegrin).

(3) Continue as far as Plage de Léoube.

(4) Walk along the beach before continuing along the coastal path towards the sublime Plage de l'Estagnol and its turquoise waters (very busy in July and August as there is a pay car park right next to it).

(5) Walk along the beach (you can leave your shoes on and walk with your feet in the water while enjoying this spot), then continue along the path and enjoy the view of the Îlots de l'Estagnol and the Fort de Brégançon.

(6) Reach this long, rather wild sandy beach (unfortunately crowded with boats in season). Continue along the path towards the Pointe de la Vignasse.

(7) At the small port of La Vignasse, continue along the path towards the last large beach. Before reaching this beach, cross a small pebble cove with a certain charm.

(8) At Plage de Cabasson (pay car park at the first-aid post), turn around and take the same path back to the car park at Plage l'Argentière (S/E).

Notes

For this coastal walk, I'd obviously recommend a swimming costume and towel, as there are plenty of opportunities for swimming. Beware of the crowds at the height of the season. You may be able to leave a car at Cabasson beach to split the walk in two (but there is a charge for parking).
There are a few steep sections, but nothing too serious.

A lovely, pleasant walk with no particular difficulties
A few trickier sections, though not dangerous... provided you have good walking boots!
Certainly less peaceful in high season!

Did this magnificent hike again on Sunday, 14 December 2025 in beautiful weather.
The route is easy to follow, but the yellow markings are no longer very visible.
Personally, 18km and 280D+ (Argentière beach information sign at the foot of the Fort). I confirm the moderate difficulty due to the length and also a few slightly difficult passages, but no major difficulties. Hiking boots are strongly recommended.
A MUST when you're in the area (advantage: you can turn back at any time).

On 05.11.2025, we stopped at the small beach after Cape Leoube
coming from L'Argentière. The route as indicated is no longer possible before point 31 on the map; you must follow the path overlooking the sea, as the one indicated on the left is now private property.

A beautiful hike that was not very busy on this weekday, with a clear route even without using Visorando. Superb landscapes, as is often the case on coastal trails

A varied hike offering views of the Porquerolles islands and others. Various beaches, including the Spanish beach, which is the most beautiful.

A pleasant walk along the beaches and by the sea. You need to get up early to avoid the heat. It was hot, but we were able to cool off with a dip at the end of the walk.

A beautiful walk by the sea, a succession of large beaches and small coves... and before the return journey you can enjoy a meal in one of the great restaurants or at a more affordable price.

The rocks are easy to negotiate and the view is superb. if you do it the other way round, you'll get the sun at your back and the mistral on the way back. however, you'll have to pay to park during the season (8 euros, then 11 euros from May onwards).
thank you

One of the most beautiful walks not to be missed during a stay in the region. Blue skies and sunshine are essential to enjoy the spectacular scenery at all times. The best photos, to be taken in the morning during the winter, rival professional posters!

Be careful, some of the rocky sections are no longer passable when the water rises.
