Le Dramont. The golden island is real.
Private water taxi to the foot of Île d'Or — the tiny golden-red island said to have inspired Hergé's Tintin. Swim around it, snorkel its rocks, then land on Le Dramont's quiet beach. The Estérel at its most magical.
Golden island, red coast.
Le Dramont is defined by two landmarks: the Île d'Or (a 2-hectare private island with a Saracen tower, allegedly Hergé's inspiration for Tintin's 'The Black Island') and the Plage du Débarquement where American forces landed on August 15, 1944. Port du Poussaï is one of the smallest harbours in the Var — 30 berths, no commercial activity.
Île d'Or — the island from Tintin.
This tiny golden-red island with its medieval tower is said to have inspired Hergé's 'The Black Island'. You can't land on it (private), but you can swim around it and see it from 20 metres. We anchor just off the island.
D-Day beach, quiet now.
Le Dramont is where the 36th US Division landed on August 15, 1944. Today it's one of the quietest beaches on the Estérel coast — a wide sand crescent backed by pines.
Port du Poussaï — tiny and charming.
The smallest harbour in the Var: 30 boats, no restaurant, no shop. Just colourful pointu boats and the scent of pine. We pick up or drop off here.
