Activities: Basically anything to do with the sea and water sports, shopping, and promenade strolling to hiking, cycling, visiting museums and art galleries. The list is endless.

Cogolin Marina has numerous restaurants (including Le Jardin Imperial - one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the Gulf area). The beach is very safe for children and there are sailing dinghies etc., that are available for hire. The harbour wall is also very good for fishing.

There is a launderette in the marina and La Foux shopping centre, which nearby has all the shops, needed for your stay. Also close by is Lunarpark, a funfair that is great for all the kids big and small and there is also crazy golf.

Sport and leisure

Inland: If you like cycling and setting off on a walk early in the morning you will like Cogolin! In fact it is the departure point for many itineraries which will guide you, no matter what your physical condition, to enchanting sites and an exceptional environment.


There are 43 rambling routes in the Pays des Maures including the "Sentiers des Crêtes" (15 km) and the "Sentier Botanic" de Cogolin.
You will need 3 to 4 hours to complete the first one starting from Négresse park. Much less time is needed for the sentier botanique des Tortues which is in a loop.
As you make your way, you will perhaps see some downy or white leafed cistus or white leafed sage or Montpellier cistus with sticky leaves.
Further on, you will come across arborescent heather or traditional lavender, specific to the Maures area. Brushwood full of surprises and scents to be discovered at 3km/hour!

Sea and watersports: Water sport businesses are well represented in the marina and beach. You will find boat hire (sail or motor), sailing school for beginners, water skiing etc and the rental of boats of all sizes along the marina and the adjacent beaches.
Throughout the summer, the area is also a sailors haven, ideal for holding sporting regattas and nautical competitions and is a regular meeting place for sailing enthusiasts.
