The big marina, without the crowds.
Marines de Cogolin is a 1,500-berth marina at the head of the Golfe de Saint-Tropez, built in the 1960s alongside Port Grimaud. It's where most year-round residents keep their boats and where every local knows the fastest route across the bay. The marina has a 4 m depth throughout — no draft issues — and the channel to open water is wide and well-marked.
Saint-Tropez in 10 minutes, not 45.
The D98 from Cogolin to Saint-Tropez is the most congested road in the Var from June to September. By boat from the Marines: 10 minutes across the bay. Park, board, arrive.
Free parking, zero hassle.
Marines de Cogolin has 800 free parking spots next to the pontoons. Compare that to Saint-Tropez centre (€30/day, 20-minute walk). This is where locals depart.
The quiet alternative for families.
