Le Dramont est un hameau de Saint-Raphaël.
Le cap du Dramont porte le principal sémaphore de la région, dans un site naturel préservé, où la flore est particulièrement riche.
La plage du débarquement, juste au sud du cap est un lieu important du débarquement des Alliés en Provence (Seconde Guerre mondiale).
Face au cap du Dramont (à 200 mètres) se trouve l'île d'Or, île de 200 m de long environ, sur laquelle est construite une tour carrée de style médiéval mais moderne.
La roche rouge (rhyolite) est caractéristique de tout le massif de l'Esterel ; elle est d'origine volcanique et date du Permien (ère primaire).
D'autres roches bleues (esterellite) plus rares résultent d'un magmatisme de l'ère tertiaire et sont exploitées dans de grandes carrières du quartier du Dramont.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.
