The environment, Agay, Anthéor.

Agay, situated between Cap Dramont and the Baumette point, and providing one of the most beautiful anchorages on the coast, forms the natural gateway to the Estérel hills and is renowned for its beaches and its safe anchorages. It has 3 fine sandy beaches and an area converted into a terrace with access to the sea across the rocks. Being very sheltered, it has been favoured by sailors throughout history (in Greek, Agay means favourable).
