Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer

Few towns on the Provençal coast have a history as closely tied to the defence of Toulon’s harbour as Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Set on a peninsula at the entrance to the Rade de Toulon, it faces the Mediterranean while the sheltered roadstead opens towards Toulon and La Seyne-sur-Mer. The narrow Les Sablettes isthmus links the peninsula to the mainland, giving the commune a distinctly maritime setting. Naval installations remain part of local life, recalling Saint-Mandrier’s strategic role in protecting one of France’s principal naval harbours. Beaches and coastal paths follow the shore below wooded slopes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer and the Toulon roadstead.
