The town is divided into three hamlets: Le Rayol, Le Canadel and Pramousquier.
Each has its own beaches, viewpoints and peculiarities, while remaining connected to others by a greenway, which allows walking or cycling while enjoying stunning panoramas of the sea and the Massif des Maures.
To the north, the Maures massif offers a favorable terrain for hiking and exploration of wooded landscapes. To the south, the Mediterranean Sea opens onto the Golden Islands: Port-Cros, Porquerolles and the Island of Levant. Visible from several points in the town.
