Saint-Raphaël stretches along the Var coast, between the Gulf of Fréjus and the red hills of the Estérel. Promenade René Coty runs alongside the sea and the town-centre beaches, while the streets around the railway station are home to religious buildings, gardens and places to visit. This seaside resort suits travellers who want to combine swimming, town walks and excursions into the hinterland.

Veillat Beach is 150 m away; the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Victoire, 140 m away, is a prominent feature of the town centre. The Louis de Funès Museum, also 140 m away, displays memorabilia dedicated to the actor. Saint-Raphaël-Valescure railway station is 190 m away and connects the town centre with regional destinations. For a change of scenery, the Estérel massif has hiking trails through its red rocks and Mediterranean vegetation.

Summer days are well suited to the beaches and boat trips from the port, when the seafront is busier. In spring and autumn, milder temperatures often make it pleasant to walk in the Estérel and visit the historic centre. You can spend the morning at the market and gardens, then head to the coast for a swim or an evening stroll. The railway station makes it easy to take car-free trips to towns along the coast.
