Cap Dramont is a preserved natural area that offers breathtaking landscapes on the Ile d'Or, the Bay of Agay and as far as Estérel.

Opposite the Cap du Dramont, 200 meters away, is the Ile d'Or, an island about 200 m long, on which a square tower in medieval but modern style is built. She would have inspired Hergé for his album Tintin et l'Ile Noire.
The red rock (rhyolite characteristic of the entire Esterel massif) rubs shoulders with other, rarer blue rocks, esterellite, which result from tertiary-era magmatism and which were exploited in large quarries in the district. du Dramont.

Esterellite is found in the form of pebbles on the Landing Beach.
It was on this large beach that 20,000 GI's of the 36th Texas Division of the United States Army landed there on August 15, 1944.

At the foot of the cape, the very picturesque small fishing port of Poussaï.

The Dramont carries the main semaphore of the region, built in 1860 on the ruins of a watchtower dating from 1562. Still in use, for maritime surveillance, the building is closed to the public.
