Port de Saint Tropez, port de pêche et de plaisance dans le Var
Port de Saint-Tropez is a harbor in the village center with berths for more than 700 boats spread across roughly nine hectares. The water holds everything from small fishing vessels to large luxury yachts, with boats constantly arriving and departing throughout the day.
The harbor began in the 15th century as a small fishing and trading port, growing alongside the town over centuries. It was damaged during the Second World War but rebuilt and expanded in the 1960s with new basins for larger vessels.
The harbor sits at the heart of village life in Saint-Tropez and reflects the town's deep connection to the sea. You see sailors, fishermen, and locals meeting here daily, working on boats or sitting at nearby cafes watching the water and activity unfold.
The harbor is easily accessible on foot during day and night hours and offers parking, clean restrooms, and charging stations for electric boats nearby. The harbor master's office is helpful with directions and information for visitors who need assistance or want to know more about the facilities.
The harbor was once defended by a tower called Tour Saint-Elme built in 1637, which still stands today housing the harbor master's offices and serving as a visible landmark. The Mole du Portalet breakwater, constructed in the 15th century, was later modified and fitted with a lighthouse to guide boats safely into the entrance.
