A renowned windsurfing spot, Brutal Beach attracts windsurfers whenever the mistral blows, while the calm of the Brusc is ideal for stand-up paddleboarding, sea kayaking, or a boat trip around the islands. Thrill-seekers can try jet skiing, water skiing, or towed buoys. The underwater world of the Embiez archipelago, rich in marine life, will also delight divers and snorkeling enthusiasts.
Nature is omnipresent in Six-Fours. For a wild getaway, head to Île du Petit Gaou, accessible by foot via a footbridge from the port of Brusc: this small islet with wind-bent pines has secret coves and coastal paths facing the Embiez archipelago. Hiking enthusiasts will also appreciate Cap Sicié and its coastal trail offering nearly 18 km of paths in preserved nature. At the top, the chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Mai reveals an exceptional panorama of the Toulon harbor, the Saint-Mandrier peninsula, and even the Marseille calanques on a clear day. Finally, don't miss a boat trip to the large Île des Embiez (10 minutes crossing from Le Brusc) to discover its translucent coves, vineyards, and oceanographic institute – a true change of scenery.
It's impossible to stay here without enjoying the Provençal markets. In Six-Fours, the weekly market livens up the town center, offering freshly caught fish, local fruits and vegetables, honey, olive oil, and other local specialties. Not far away, the famous Sanary-sur-Mer market – voted "France's Most Beautiful Market" – is worth a visit for its typical atmosphere and colorful stalls bursting with southern flavors. Strolling among the stands to the sound of cicadas is an authentic pleasure, between lavender scents, nougats, and Provençal herbs.
The town has a rich historical heritage. Perched on the fort hill, the Collégiale Saint-Pierre (11th century) is a majestic witness to the medieval past of Six-Fours-les-Plages. Lower down, the chapelle Notre-Dame de Pépiole, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, is a hidden Romanesque gem dating from the 6th century, one of the oldest chapels in the region. Wandering through the various hamlets of the town, you will discover other treasures such as the Maison du Cygne (art center in a landscaped garden) or the Batterie du Cap Nègre, recalling the local military history. Six-Fours thus combines culture and seaside relaxation, for holidays as enriching as they are relaxing.
To further explore Six-Fours, here are two useful resources:
Six-Fours has plenty of iconic places to explore, between heritage, panoramas, and exceptional natural sites.
Collégiale Saint-Pierre – This 11th-century building, perched on the Fort de Six-Fours hill, is a majestic witness to the medieval past of the town. A former fortified church, it offers a 360° viewpoint from its esplanade over the entire coastline: the Sanary bay, the Brusc lagoon, the Embiez islands, and even to the Var mountains on clear days. Its visit allows you to delve into local history while enjoying an exceptional panorama for unforgettable photos.
Île des Embiez – A preserved gem of the Mediterranean, the Embiez archipelago is a true ode to nature, as desired by its owner Paul Ricard. Accessible by shuttle boat (10 minutes from Le Brusc), the main island offers wild coves with turquoise waters, reefs for diving, trails among pine forests and vineyards, and a charming small marina. You can explore it on foot or by bike easily – no vehicles circulate there – and discover a protected ecosystem (bird reserve, oceanographic institute). A must for sea and nature lovers, an excursion to the Embiez promises change of scenery, calm, and postcard-worthy panoramas.
Île du Gaou – Adjacent to the small port of Brusc and connected to the mainland by a short footbridge, the Île du Petit and Grand Gaou is a protected natural area with a wild character. Maritime pines sculpted by the wind, jagged rocks, and coastal meadows create a unique landscape facing the nearby Île des Embiez. This enchanting site, nicknamed "the little paradise of Gaou," is popular for family picnics, swimming in its cove with clear waters, and even open-air concerts organized in summer at sunset. Gaou offers an unusual haven of peace, ideal for recharging away from the hustle and bustle.
Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Mai (Cap Sicié) – Perched at 358 m altitude on the Cap Sicié cliff, this 17th-century chapel has watched over sailors for centuries. It can be reached by a narrow road or a challenging hiking trail, but the reward upon arrival is grandiose: a breathtaking panorama over the Toulon harbor, the Saint-Mandrier peninsula, and the Côte d’Azur up to the Marseille calanques on a clear day. A pilgrimage site every Easter Monday (the “Mai”), the chapel is a local symbol of protection. It is above all an incomparable viewpoint to admire the spectacle of the sunset igniting the sea – a magical moment for all visitors to Cap Sicié.
The town has many quality public beaches on the Mediterranean Sea, ideal for swimming in complete freedom.
Plage de Bonnegrâce (known as Brutal Beach) – It is the largest and most famous beach in Six-Fours. It stretches over a kilometer along the Promenade du Général-de-Gaulle, at the border with Sanary. Made up of gravel and sand, Bonnegrâce is renowned for its surfing and windsurfing spot on its eastern part called “Brutal Beach,” highly appreciated by windsurfers on windy days. In summer, this supervised beach welcomes families and sports enthusiasts with many amenities: lifeguard stations, showers, beach volleyball courts, non-smoking areas, and even a dog-friendly area at the end (Brutal Beach side). Bordered by a promenade lined with restaurants, snacks, and bars, Bonnegrâce is ideal for spending the day, from swimming in the afternoon to having a drink on the terrace at sunset.
Plage de la Coudoulière – Highly favored by locals, this beach extends from the port of La Coudoulière to the Pointe du Carabinier. A mix of sandy and small pebble areas depending on the spot, it offers a pleasant setting for families, with the bonus of a view of the Embiez islands on the horizon. Nearby, there is a nautical base and some private beaches on the port side, while the western end of the beach, more natural, is suitable for swimming (caution, it gets crowded in summer). A paid parking lot is located just above, and a lovely wooded park borders the beach. Awarded the Blue Flag, La Coudoulière is appreciated for the quality of its water and romantic sunsets over the bay.
Plage du Cros – This family-friendly beach, ~400 m long, is located at the entrance of the Brusc hamlet, about 600 m before the port of Brusc. Made up of fine sand, it enjoys a pleasant environment, and the nearby Embiez islands can be seen from the shore. Well-equipped (free parking, lifeguard station, children's play area, shower, WC, etc.), Plage du Cros has been awarded the Blue Flag for the quality of its bathing waters. The only downside: the coastal road passes just behind, which can be inconvenient and requires keeping an eye on young children. Nevertheless, it remains a favorite beach among locals for its friendly atmosphere and calm waters, ideal for paddleboarding and snorkeling.
The resort is easy to navigate, and several modes of transportation are available to get around during your stay.
By Car – It is the most practical way to freely explore Six-Fours and its surroundings. The town is accessible via the A50 motorway (La Seyne-sur-Mer or Sanary/Six-Fours exits) and then by the D559. Once there, many parking lots (free or paid) are available near the beaches and tourist sites (e.g., Brusc, Bonnegrâce, Coudoulière parking lots). In high season, allow extra time due to heavy traffic on the Côte d’Azur and consider carpooling if possible. Once your car is parked, the main seaside areas (Lônes, city center, Coudoulière, Le Brusc) are easily explored on foot.
By Bus – Six-Fours-les-Plages is served by the Réseau Mistral public transport network of the Toulon Provence Méditerranée metropolis. Regular bus lines connect the town to Toulon, La Seyne-sur-Mer, Ollioules, Sanary, and neighboring municipalities. For example, line 72 allows you to reach Toulon station in about 40 minutes from Six-Fours. In summer, special shuttles may serve the beaches and events (fireworks, concerts) to avoid taking the car. The fare is affordable (1.50 € for a single ticket), and day or week passes are available. It is a practical and eco-friendly option – buses run on gas or electricity – although the frequency may be reduced in the evening and on Sundays.
By Bike – With its mild climate and relatively flat relief along the coast, Six-Fours is well-suited for cycling. It is possible to ride along the coast by bike, especially between the city center and Le Brusc via the corniche, enjoying stunning sea views. The town has some bike paths and shared lanes, and several rental shops offer mountain bikes and electric bikes for the day (particularly near the port of Brusc and Coudoulière). Cycling allows you to reach the beaches without worrying about parking and discover hidden corners (Cap Nègre path, coastal trail...) at your own pace. However, be cautious on busy road sections in summer and wear a helmet, especially for younger riders. This mode of transport combines sport, freedom, and environmental respect, perfect for experiencing the Côte d’Azur differently.
