Saint-Laurent-du-Var - all beaches

plage très ghetto le soir / pas très bien fréquentée

There were a lot of people at the beach, especially on Sunday afternoon. It was so crowded that we had to sit on a bench on the sidewalk next to a busy road. We only stayed for a few minutes, took a dip, and then went back to the hotel. On Monday late morning, it was a little less crowded. We were glad we only stayed for two days. The water was okay, but not super clean. The sunchairs and umbrellas on the privately organized beach portions were ridiculously expensive, costing about 35 dollars for a full day. However, the sandy beach was still better than others in the area.

Golfe Juan boasts a lovely sandy beach with a convenient car park and marina nearby. However, it tends to get quite crowded, especially during peak season. Locals, particularly the older generation, stake their claim on prime beach real estate early in the morning and fiercely defend it. To secure a good spot, it's best to arrive early, especially in July and August. Due to Covid-19, the beach was less crowded than usual, and some of the promenade restaurants were only partially open. Keep in mind that prices can be quite steep.

The beach is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. While it may not offer a lot of excitement, it is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a tranquil spot by the sea. However, be aware that the restaurant nearby is quite pricey.

This shoreline was a serene haven during our visit, though the gusty winds made for quite a blustery experience. Fortunately, there are ample seating options situated just above the sandy expanse, as well as a selection of ice cream and beverage vendors. For those seeking a more substantial meal, a quick five-minute stroll will lead to a variety of restaurants. Additionally, the beach is conveniently located just a brief jaunt from the nearby train station, accessible via a short descent down a set of steps.

This public beach boasts a stunning appearance that will leave you in awe. However, due to the restaurant occupying a significant portion of the space, the beach can get a bit crowded. Nonetheless, the water is a sight to behold with its exceptional warmth, clarity, and cleanliness. Despite its charm, there are other equally impressive beaches nearby that may offer more convenience.
