There&#8217;s a small beach near the castle as well. La Napoule also boasts a 3* Michelin restaurant called &#8220;the Oasis&#8221;, if you&#8217;re in the mood for a gourmet lunch.<\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">The Castle is a replica of a 10th Century Saracen tower, built <\/font><font face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">by Henry Clews<\/font><font face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">, an eccentric American Millionaire<\/font><font face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"> in the 1920s<\/font><font face=\"Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">. They furnished               it with medieval and Renaissance furniture, and it includes many of with Henry&#8217;s sculptures.\u00a0 Gargoyles guard the treasure throughout the castle. <\/font><\/p>\n<p>Just past La Napoule is the quaint hillside town of <strong>Theoule-sur-Mer<\/strong>, which has several beaches and beach restaurants popular for their fish.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"right\" alt=\"The rocky cliffs of the Estorel\" title=\"The rocky cliffs of the Esterel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/images\/esterel.jpg\" \/>You&#8217;ll continue past beautiful small port towns perched on the side of rocky cliffs, as you approach the <strong>Esterel<\/strong> Massif<strong>, <\/strong>an enormous and stunning rock formation. These rocks are famous for their rugged beauty as well as hiking and climbing.\u00a0 At the bottom of the cliffs are a number of beautiful swimming holes, with perfectly clear water that has a red tinge from reflecting the rocks above. We highly recommend a quick swim to refresh everyone on your way to St Tropez.<\/p>\n<p>After your swim, you&#8217;ll head past <strong>Agay<\/strong>, nesteled into a cove in the rocks, past the port town of <strong>St Rafael<\/strong>, and then see the long expanse of white beaches at <strong>Frejus<\/strong>. If you have plenty of time and enjoy Roman Ruins, Frejus has a fairly well preserved Roman town, complete with aqueduct and theater.\u00a0 It was on the Appian way and the area was once a major port in the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you can decide whether to go straight to Pampelonne Beach, or if you want to first spend a few hours in the old town of St Tropez.\u00a0 If you head to St Tropez old town, you will enter the Golfe of St Tropez, a renowned sailing and yachting bay. On the north is the seaside town of St Maxime, a typical French beach town with seaside restaurants, apartments and villas on the hillside and plenty of watersports.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"158\" width=\"200\" align=\"right\" title=\"The charming old town of St Tropez\" alt=\"The charming old town of St Tropez\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/images\/content_images\/st_tropez_tower1.jpg\" \/>At the South side of the Golfe is the quaint and world famous old port town of <strong>St Tropez<\/strong>.\u00a0 You may want to stop for a coffee on the quai to watch the people and yachts go by. There are ramparts to discover, plenty of shopping (from designer brands to local crafts) and of course the beautiful old port itself, where Mangustas mix with classic sailing and motor yachts. You could easily while away the entire day here, and many do, however the main beach attraction is still around the corner.<\/p>\n<p><em>Next up, Pampelonne Beach and Club 55. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaving Cannes, you will continue along the coast on the Bay of Cannes toward the beautiful red rock outcroppings and cliffs in the distance.\u00a0 One of the first seaside towns you will come to is La Napoule.\u00a0 You will see <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/14\/day-charter-to-st-tropez-part-ii-along-the-coast-from-cannes-to-st-tropez-old-town\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Day Charter to St Tropez &#8211;
