L’Ile d’Or is one of the 60 most beautiful sites in France. Inaccessible since it was privatised in 1897, it used to be the arena for sumptuous receptions when the owner at the time declared he was king of the island. Its square, crenellated watchtower was built with red rock from the Esterel. The island was immortalised by Herg, the creator of Tintin in Lile Noire
The main Dramont beach was one of the principal points for the Allied landings in Provence. On 15 August 1944, 20,000 GIs from the 36th Texas regiment landed on the pebbled beach in less than 10 hours with tanks and heavy artillery. At the foot of the Cap is the very picturesque fishing harbour of Poussai.
Cap Dramont is part of the state-owned Esterel forest. This is home to one of the most beautiful and the most accessible parts of the Coastal Path.
