Hey Christine,

There's a lot to do on the coast !

We usually go out to the beach or walking some beautiful sceneries around !

Party is always great here and it is amazing for any outdoor activity : karting, quad, jet ski, boat, ...

If you like hiking, you can join walking groups in Esterel.

Hi Christine,
I would recommend, hiking or walking up the Esterel anywhere from Mandelieu to Saint Raphael you will have a beautiful view of the sea. You can also head out to Cannes for shopping or take the ferry to any of the two islands : Saint Honorat or Saint Marguerite. Eze has a beautiful village to visit and a good place to spend the day relaxing or if you like perfumes, Grasse is a fun place to discover you'll learn how perfumes are made , try Fragonard or Galimard. If you're feeling a little adventurous, drive to La Napoule and visit the 'Chateaux de La Napoule' walk around the beach or have lunch by the sea then continue the beautiful drive to Theoule sur mer up to Saint Raphael where you can walk around the boardwalk and check out the open markets by the sea. Enjoy !
