Plage de Pampelonne

This sun-drenched French Riviera resort is renowned with beachside splendor and breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes. The town's exclusivity attracts celebrities, but anyone prepared to pay the price can enjoy the trendy coastal lifestyle.

Saint-Tropez was formerly an ordinary fishing village, and it has kept the charm of a tiny town in the Provence area, despite its reputation as an elite resort. Saint-old Tropez's town still contains classic open-air Provençal markets, outdoor cafés, and shaded squares popular with locals.

The Plage de Pampelonne, nestled in a tranquil bay, provides the luxury that tourists expect from a Côte d'Azur resort. There are both public and private beach clubs with amenities such as lounge chairs, parasols, cabanas, and well-kept toilets.

Several private beach clubs stand out: Eden Plage has a sophisticated restaurant, entertainment, and yacht shuttle services; Nikki Beach attracts celebrity clients; and Tahiti Beach has a boutique hotel and a gourmet restaurant overlooking the seafront. Le Club 55 is the most subtle private beach club on the Plage de Pampelonne, with a laid-back attitude.

For an even more relaxed atmosphere, visit the neighbouring Cavalaire-sur-Mer, which has the same sun and coastline but without the expensive pricing and elitist attitude. Families and those who prefer water sports such as scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and deep-sea fishing go to this lengthy beach.
