The former peaceful fishing village of Saint-Tropez has become a famous French resort, where a 60-thousand stream of tourists flies every summer. Luxurious beaches and yacht marinas with ships resembling spaceships are of greatest interest. Want to plunge into the magical atmosphere of the coast of Saint-Tropez? Plan your vacation with our rating of the best beaches of the resort.
Pampelonne is considered the best beach on the Cote d'Azur. It's about 5 km away from Saint-Tropez. The beach is located on a long spit of fine white sand, dramatically contrasting with the color of the blue sea. It became popular in the nineteenth century, and between the 40s and 50s experienced a second wave of popularity thanks to Juliette Greco, Sartre, Picasso, the symbol of French cinema – Brigitte Bardot and other famous persons.
If you want to enjoy the expanse of Cote d'-Azur and not collide in water with the bodies of other vacationers, well, tune in to visit Esclamandes beach! You will definitely not rest your heels on the head of a neighbor, you will not worry about the extra movements of your young children, because the conditions on the beach are quite safe, and you will even be able to sunbathe without a swimsuit (in a certain area, of course).
Beaches of Saint Tropez have long ceased to be just a place to relax under the sun. Now Tahiti is a meeting place for the "rich and famous", elite open-air parties and informal competitions, whose yacht is longer and more expensive. Probably, many people think that the foot of ordinary mortals does not set foot on Cote d'-Azur at all, but it is not. The least glamorous of the most expensive and pretentious beaches is Tahiti beach.
