Saint-Aygulf: a Tranquil Resort at the Gateway to the Esterel
Saint-Aygulf is the seaside quarter of the Fréjus municipality, tucked between the mouth of the Argens river and the red volcanic foothills of the Esterel massif. Less exposed to the intense tourist circuits of the Riviera, the resort stretches over several kilometres of fine sandy beach — some ranked among the finest in the Var — in a family-friendly, relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from Saint-Raphaël or Fréjus-Plage.
The protected natural site at the Argens estuary, adjacent to the beaches, harbours a regional nature reserve of ponds, reed beds and migratory birds. The coastal road towards Fréjus winds past wild rocky coves accessible on foot from Saint-Aygulf's beaches.

Things to Do in Saint-Aygulf and the Surrounding Area
The beaches of Saint-Aygulf (Gaillarde Nord, Gaillarde Sud, Plage des Roches Rouges) are popular windsurfing and kitesurfing spots, prized by board-sports enthusiasts. The Esterel coastal path connects Saint-Aygulf to Agay via wild coves framed by the characteristic red porphyry rocks of the massif.
Fréjus (5 km) is a major Roman town: its amphitheatre, arena, forum, aqueduct and early-Christian baptistery make it one of the richest repositories of Roman-era remains in France. Saint-Raphaël (8 km) rounds out the offering with its casino, waterfront restaurants and wreck-diving sites in the bay.
