The square and crenellated tower (of Saracen inspiration) which surmounts this rocky islet was built between 1910 and 1913 (in red stone from Estérel), at the request of its owner, Doctor Auguste Lutaud, self-proclaimed Auguste1st. Private property, it cannot be visited. According to a local legend, the Golden Island would have inspired Hergé for his album "The Black Island". But "Tintinophiles" are unanimous in refuting this idea: the illustrator, who never came to Saint-Raphaël, was inspired by Scottish castles for the castle of Ben More.

Le port du Poussaï donne un superbe point de vue sur la tour carrée, agréable pour se baigner ou balader sur les sentiers du sémaphore distribuant de nombreuses criques.
Pour les adeptes il y a un centre de plongée sur le port.

Très belle vue de la plage du débarquement, juste en face de cette petite île mystérieuse...
