User reviews
"It was definitely worth the 30-minute drive from Saint Maxime to get to this beach. The sand was clean, and although it was a bit of a trek to get to a depth of 2m, the water was crystal clear. There were some rental options available along the beach, but the food was quite expensive. For a better lunch option, it's recommended to walk over to Le Ville cafe nearby."

"The water at this beach is absolutely fantastic, with its crystal-clear and invigorating qualities. Accessing the beach is a breeze, and there's an abundance of parking space available. However, it's important to note that this beach tends to be quite bustling and lively, so if you're seeking a more tranquil and serene atmosphere, it may not be the ideal destination for you."
