- Set against the Pradels chain of mountains, it has exceptional sunshine and its vegetation is typical of the Mediterranean rim with its mimosas, pines as well as eucalyptus forests.
- Cavalaire-sur-Mer's 4 km long beach of fine sand stands facing the islands of Porquerolles, Port Cros and the Levant - known as the Iles d'Or (Golden islands).
