The town's promenade is lined with palm trees and offers a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or a seaside meal. The old town, with its narrow streets and traditional Provençal market, invites visitors to explore and discover local crafts, fresh produce, and regional specialties such as tapenade and anchoïade.
