Bandol is a true seaside resort. Its first tourists were called Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley. They made Bandol a holiday spot long before the days of Brigitte Bardot and St. Tropez. Many sand beaches, cliffs, inlets and creeks are all part of this natural environment and are surrounded by hills of pines and willows.
Bandol's port is fitted out to shelter 1,500 boats of all sizes: yachts, great sailing vessels and professional fishing boats. Its clears waters and interesting underwater sea life makes this an ideal spot for scuba divers.
The vineyards of Bandol are famous: red wines are powerful but velvety. Rosé(s) are fruity and racy, whites, full bodied and fine. So, whatever the colour, the wines of Bandol are amongst the best of the Midi and even of France. Neighbouring villages are: On the coast: Sanary (4km), St Cyr sur Mer (8km). Inland : Le Castellet (10km), la Cadière d'azur (10km), le Beausset (9km).
