Latest reviews on Var's beaches

Plage de Portissol
10 Hannah Milo

The scenery at the beach is absolutely beautiful, and the bay is well protected. The hotel and restaurant at the bar are also quite nice.

Turtle Beach
2 Daisy Milo

We arrived at the beach with high expectations, but unfortunately, we were let down. My wife ordered lamb, but it arrived undercooked. We requested a replacement, which was provided, but it greatly affected our overall dining experience. Additionally, the dessert we ordered was of very low quality, indicating that it was likely purchased at a cheap price. They charged a hefty 12.00€ per portion for it. Overall, we do not recommend this place and have no intention of returning. On a positive note, the location is beautiful as it is situated right by the waterfront. Furthermore, parking comes at a cost of 8€.

Capte beach II
10 Nora JH

The beach is stunning, peaceful, well-maintained, and not too crowded.

Bouvet beach
10 sullivan maeve

The coastal path provides a stunning view of the magnificent panorama.

Plage de la Verne
10 Ethan Sinclair

We've been to many beaches, but this one is truly one of the most stunning. Just a word of caution, it's a pebble beach, so watch your step. The water trail is absolutely breathtaking and the signage is excellent. Plus, there are lifeguards on duty to ensure everyone's safety.

La Gaillarde beach
8 Famished Folks

This pristine beach with a tranquil atmosphere and offers secure bathing zones. While it may get a bit congested during the busiest months, early September provides a more relaxed experience. Additionally, a nearby convenience store provides easy access to both delectable ice cream treats and essential groceries.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 27 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 29.9°C and water up to 26.6°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 10.6°C and water to 14.6°C.
