It is the busiest and longest beach in Saint Tropez, set in a beautiful sheltered bay. It stretches over 5km in length, with white sands and sparkling turquoise seas.
We accessed the public area and parked in the public parking which was only 1.50€ for two hours I believe. We enjoyed swimming in the warm turquoise water and playing in the waves. We had a really nice time at the beach.
At the parking lot there was also a washroom and shower spot. Though the shower wasn’t working there were sinks you could use and a mirror.
The beach is spilt between public areas where you can lay down your towel and belongings, to a range of beach clubs where you can hire sun loungers & parasols, and dine with some extravagance.

Definitely take a quick shower after swimming (being not used to salty water swimming, I was surprised the first day how annoying it was for the skin later). Overall this beach should...
Read moreVery nice beach with beautiful view. Not too crowded. You can rent a sunbeds and bikes there. A few cafeterias and some best clubs around. Toilet, shower and changing room acailable to public behind the cafeteria. Cheap parking nearby (€4.50 per day). If only the sand was nicer and there were less pebbles. It was hard to get in the water without protective shoes. It can get windy there and then the waves are too high and make it impossible to enjoy water which becomes very messy. There is a deep steep...
