Beach overall scores
Briande beach (Var) region (French Riviera sub-region) is located outside the Gigaro settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Briande beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach near Cap Taillat may seem beautiful at first glance, but don't be fooled by its appearance. The coast path may be pleasant to walk on, but the beach itself is nothing special. It's just a typical sandy beach, lacking any unique features or character. In fact, it pales in comparison to the rugged and interesting rocky beaches that surround it. Don't expect to be wow..."
Jared Wintersmith
"This gorgeous beach is truly a hidden gem that I am hesitant to divulge. The short hike to reach it is definitely worth the effort, as the beauty of the surroundings is unparalleled. I highly recommend a visit, but selfishly hope to keep it all to myself."
