Beach Portissol — Attraction in Toulon

the beach is terrible, I don't know how people can evaluate it positively and give 5 stars is just a lie and misleading tourists. There is a lot of algae smelling of rotten eggs on the sand.

Il faudrait que les responsables municipaux aillent faire un tour à la Réserve Naturelle de Bonifacio: on laisse les posidonies aussi là-bas, mais c'est sec, c'est propre, l'eau est limpide et les parkings gratuits.
