To start, the easiest way is to head to the large car park at the landing beach (note that in summer spaces are likely to be few and far between). Then head for the beach, turn left onto the shingle (1) (yellow markings) as far as the small harbour of Poussaï. Cross to the other side of the harbour and head towards a small staircase that provides access to a good path, continue up for about 200 metres and turn right (2) onto the partially paved path up a gentle incline. The view sometimes opens onto the sea or provides a view of Dramont’s summit and semaphore tower. Shortly after the path levels out. Turn left uphill (3) passing the path to the right leading down to the sea. After a short climb, turn left at a junction (4) on a path up towards the entrance of the semaphore tower (no access), with a beautiful view and a sign that informs visitors about the purpose of the semaphore. The roads heads down to the right. After a few metres, turn right onto the road that rises slightly to the transmitter where there is another wonderful view going around the transmitter. Head downhill on the road (no traffic) and a little further down head left (5) ignoring the markings and continue the descent to reach the path of ascent, the harbour and the car park on the same route.

Well-marked route. Lots of tourists and Sunday walkers. The scenery around the cape is exceptional for its beauty and its viewpoints.
We preferred the small, off-the-beaten-track paths along the coast. These paths are marked in dotted black on the map. Easy and without difficulties. Easy to follow.
Enjoy the walk

A little unspoilt paradise in a highly urbanised area.
A lovely contrast between the red rocks of the Esterel and the blue of the Mediterranean.
A very pleasant trail.

Thank you for sharing this walk with us.
We did it with our children, aged 3 and 8, without any difficulty.
The views are really nice, even on overcast or rainy days.
I'd definitely recommend it.

Great walk, beautiful scenery, we did it with two children aged 5 and 8. Very pleasant at the end of the day.
There was a slight discrepancy with the GPS map on the first stage, but nothing too serious.

Super hike
Waymarked path
Splendid views over St Raphaël, the sea and the Esterel massif.
Given the heat in the region, it's best to do the walk in the morning.

A pleasant walk out of season. Breathtaking views over the bays of Saint Raphaël and Agay, not to mention the Golden Island. Benches are available around the transmitter, which is a great place to enjoy a sandwich while admiring the small boats sailing from the pretty port of Poussaï.
For the descent from the semaphore/relay station, take the Poussaï road rather than the "forbidden" path (yellow cross). It's just a little longer!

Combined with Cap du Dramont, you can walk along the top of the cape on the way out and along the sea on the way back.

A relatively easy hike with lovely views of the Bay of Agay, l'Estérel and Cap Estérel from the semaphore and transmitter.
However, we encountered a problem on the return journey at point 5, where it is indicated to turn left a little further down, ignoring the signs. This path was not accessible (construction site closed to the public). We had to descend to Tiki Plage and return to the landing beach car park by road.
We did the hike again a few days later, but this time we preferred to go as far as the transmitter and come back the same way.
