"Although on the petite side, this beach boasts soft, velvety sand and a tranquil atmosphere. Its gentle waves make it a suitable destination for families with young children."

It's a real shame that we can't enjoy the soothing sound of waves and the warmth of the sun on our skin. The closure of the beach has left us feeling disappointed and gloomy. It's a stark reminder of the current state of the world and the limitations it imposes on ..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Plage du Borrigo (Maritime Alps) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage du Borrigo (Maritime Alps) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage du Borrigo for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
