This beach is the longest and most popular one in Saint Tropez, situated in a picturesque and sheltered bay. It spans across 5 kilometers and boasts white sandy shores and glistening turquoise waters. We accessed the public section and parked in the public lot, which cost only 1.50€ for two hours, if I recall correctly. We had a great time swimming in the warm turquoise water and frolicking in the waves. The parking lot also had a restroom and shower area, although the shower wasn't functional, there were sinks and a mirror available for use. The beach is divided into public areas where you can lay out your towel and belongings, and a variety of beach clubs where you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas, and indulge in lavish dining experiences. Pampelonne Beach is the most well-known beach in Saint Tropez, frequented by celebrities, famous beach clubs, and luxury yachts anchored in the bay.
This stunning beach boasts two fantastic restaurants, Le 44 to the left and Les Planches to the right. For those seeking adventure, you can rent a jet ski or soar through the air with a parachute. Alternatively, take a leisurely walk to Les Issambres port and hire a boat for the day. The only downside is the limited parking, especially during peak season. To avoid this, it's best to rent a nearby home and enjoy a short stroll to this idyllic spot. Overall, it's hard to imagine a better beach experience than this.
This beach is great with plenty of nearby activities and easy access. Parking is conveniently located within 200-300 meters from the beach, just beyond the bridge on Rue Magali (one-way system). However, for swimming, it doesn't quite measure up to Plage de la Nartelle in Sainte-Maxime.
