The port of La Seyne / les Sablettes - Crossing Sablettes / Porquerolles
Les Sablettes is a very popular district of La Seyne-sur-Mer. It is home to a small marina, west of the small Toulon harbour. It was already a fashionable seaside resort in the 19th century. The construction of lighthouses, beacons and establishments such as casinos by Michel Pacha contributed to its development. The number of visitors to the resort fell sharply until the 20th century, due to the two world wars.

The development of the Sablettes beach took many years. It dates from 1967-1976. The Port Saint-Elme nautical base was developed in 1975. Les Sablettes only regained its tourist dynamism between 2000 and 2010 thanks to the renovation of the town: creation of a landscaped park, a promenade along the harbour, entertainment and tourist areas… Its marina was officially opened in 2006. The seaside facilities, the opening of various tourist establishments and the yachting activities have multiplied. Today, the port is located near one of the most beautiful beaches of La Seyne-sur-Mer if not Toulon. It is bordered by a large number of beach restaurants, brasseries and bars. Near the port is the Fernand Braudel landscape park on the Sablettes isthmus, near the Saint-Elme district.
