Plage De La Romaniquette

10 Ava Jensen

This beach is really lovely, offering plenty of shade and a small spot to purchase wine, as well as other beverages and food.

Plage Des Cabassons

10 MissLW

We visited a location close to the main beach of Cabasson, and it turned out to be the best beach we experienced on this trip. The presence of large rocks provided sturdy footing, and the water was pleasantly warm rather than cold. Additionally, the beach was practically deserted, granting us a greater sense of privacy compared to the main beach.

Plage des Ours

10 Aurélie RENAUDIN

This beach is absolutely gorgeous for anyone looking for a peaceful moment surrounded by unique colored and shaped pebbles.

Grande Plage

10 Krista Kline

Perfect spot to bask under the sun. The water is crystal clear, allowing you to see the bottom even from afar. Even if you're 50 meters away from the shore, the water is still only 1 meter deep, making it ideal for swimming. There is a large free parking area available for your convenience. If you have your own kayak or boat, you can enjoy kayaking or boating. You can also have a barbecue on the beach using your own food. However, please note that there are no bars or restaurants on the beach.
