Bompard is located in close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.
It belongs to a part of the Massif de la Garde, which is a limestone hill on whose top is the church of Notre-Dame de la Garde, which is not, however, in Bompard.
The local economy and culture are strongly influenced by the coastal setting.
The area is characterised by a particularly high number of cafés and restaurants.
Major cultural institutions include a cinema opened in 1912 and Théâtre Silvain, inaugurated in 1923, not far from the centre of the Endoume quarter.
