Located in Le Trayas (Saint-Raphaël), the Maupas cove stretches over 20m of red pebbles. It is little frequented and therefore offers a unique intimate setting conducive to relaxation and boat trips. The stairs leading to the calanque are hidden by the vegetation behind the wooden barriers. It is easy to get there by car but also by bus.
