Agay, situated between Cap Dramont and the Baumette point, and providing one of the most beautiful anchorages on the coast, forms the natural gateway to the Estérel hills and is renowned for its beaches and its safe anchorages. It has 3 fine sandy beaches and an area converted into a terrace with access to the sea across the rocks. Being very sheltered, it has been favoured by sailors throughout history (in Greek, Agay means favourable). The arrival of the railway line in 1860 gave it a boost and it was soon discovered and appreciated by many artists ; the painter Louis Valtat, composer Vincent dIndy and writers Guy de Maupassant, Maurice Donnay and Saint-Exupéry all stayed there. Visit the Fontaine pour le Petit Prince, erected in homage to Saint-Exupry. Albert Cohen sited parts of the action in Belle du Seigneur there.

Agay has a marina with 166 births with a few births for visitors.
