Agay between the bay and the Estérel

Discover Agay through its coastal scenery, water sports and local history. If you’re looking for a hotel for your trip, these different themes can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.

Bay, sandy beaches and Estérel

The Rade d’Agay lies between Cap Dramont and Pointe de la Baumette and has three sandy beaches. Agay is also a natural gateway to the Estérel massif. This gives you two distinct geographical points of reference—the coast and the massif—to consider when planning your trip.

Water sports at Plage d’Agay

Plage d’Agay has a sailing club, as well as opportunities for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. The Base Nautique Municipale d’Agay offers sea kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for hire. Rental services and visitor facilities may vary by season; check which options are available during your stay before you travel.

Agay Watersports offers lessons for beginners aged four and up with a state-certified instructor. Activities also include waterskiing, wakeboarding, towable tubes and other towed devices. Activities may operate seasonally. Confirm the age requirement, lesson details and availability before booking. Beginner lessons and towable activities are two different types of offering.

Diving and tours on the water

Agathonis Plongée offers dives amid the Estérel, departing from the Bay of Agay. Its offerings include independent and guided diving, training at various levels, introductory dives, fin tours and snorkelling. Dives depart from the Agay River and head east towards the Cap Roux marine protected area; their routes are subject to operating conditions.

Another way to spend time on the water is with Agay Watersports: waterskiing, wakeboarding and towed devices differ from kayaking, paddleboarding and diving. When planning, you can choose specifically between activities using your own paddle, diving options and towed devices, without treating them as a single, uniform water sports programme.

Port d’Agay and local history

The small Port d’Agay extends into the Agay River and accommodates small recreational boats. If you plan to visit the port, check its operations and seasonal access before your trip.

Agay’s history also offers some specific points of interest: Saint-Exupéry married Consuelo Suncin on 12 April 1931 in the chapel in Agay. The Fontaine pour le Petit Prince is also located in Agay.

A local jousting tradition has been part of Agay since 1953. It includes training sessions, demonstrations and friendly tournaments where the Agathoniens meet. If you specifically want to see a demonstration or tournament, check the dates before your trip. This helps you distinguish the historic tradition from attending a particular event.
