Parking is available right in front of the Camarat lighthouse.
(S) When you are facing the lighthouse, take the yellow-marked path on your left. After 10 metres, turn left to see the viewpoint over the famous Pampelonne beach.
(1) Retrace your steps and continue straight ahead on the yellow-marked trail. Follow these markings throughout the hike.
The trail descends through the woods towards Cap Camarat.
(2) After a few minutes, you will reach the coastal path above Cap Camarat and the Rocher des Portes opposite. Continue to the right, following the yellow markings.
The trail winds above the sea through pine trees. Pass Pointe Moussure, then cross the Baie des Roches Bleues before arriving near a luxury housing development overlooking the sea in the middle of the heath, Le Merlier.
Follow the signs carefully as they skirt around the estate, passing as close to the water as possible. Shortly afterwards, you will arrive at the foot of a large staircase.
(3) Climb these steps, which lead to a track. Take the track on the left for about 200m.
(4) Go down the path on the left, still marked in yellow.
The water becomes clearer and clearer. Pass a small pebble beach and arrive at a tiny fishing village called La Sèche de Gassin.
(5) Continue along the path between the rocks. It is only a few minutes before you reach L'Escalet. The car park is just behind the beach. (E)
