The sea pulls you west as the sun starts to drop behind the Saint‑Tropez peninsula — a warm wind pushes across flat water, and the light slices the cove into burnished gold and deep blue. Paddling from Pampelonne beach toward Cap Camarat, groups skim past low limestone headlands and scrubby garrigue where the scent of thyme rides the breeze. You stop at a sheltered rock to swim; adventurous guests may jump from a 3‑m ledge into the warm Mediterranean before a small glass of rosé is shared on the water.
