The coast of Toulon is of massive appeal to anyone wishing to visit Toulon accommodation. The fine, golden sands of the Toulon coastline are an absolute delight. Baked with sun and lapped by crystal clear, warm Mediterranean waters, the beaches in the area could not be any more appealing, and with water temperatures warm enough to encourage swimming right through until late October, the summer never seems to end. There are a great range of beaches to choose from whilst staying in any self catering Toulon apartment, with a huge range of water sports readily available, from scuba diving to deep sea fishing.

Away from the coastline, a self catering Toulon apartment is an ideal base for walking, cycling and horse riding holidays too. There are many miles of paths leading along the coastline, but for serious outdoor sports enthusiasts, the trails leading from the coastal region of Toulon into the countryside towards Mont Faron will be of huge appeal. Walking, riding and climbing route maps are available from the Toulon tourist information offices.
