Six-Fours-les-Plages is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. Inhabitants of the town refer to themselves as "Six-Fournais".
It is located in the Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée, and is southwest of the main city of Toulon.
The city offers several points of interest. The fort on the hill that dominates the city neighbours an eleventh-century chapel, St Peter "collégiale". There are also nice beaches from the very popular "brutal beach", famous for windsurfing to the secret cove in the Sicié massif. The Île des Embiez is the site of an oceanographic research centre, and the smaller Île Gaou is where concerts are organised every summer.
