Plage des Graniers is a beautiful, small sandy bay surrounded by greenery and a few Provençal villas.
Plage des Graniers is located underneath the citadel and is in close proximity from anywhere in the city (a five min walk from the heart of Saint-Tropez). It's a relatively small beach that's very busy during summer time.
This is a quiet and free option with sunbeds and umbrellas available for hire.
La Bouillabaisse is a more low-key option to the swanky beach clubs on Pampelonne beach and is situated closer to the town of Saint Tropez.
Located just to the west of Saint Tropez village, the clean water laps soft golden sand. There are a few buildings backing the beach built in a charming Provençal style and some restaurants with sun loungers and umbrellas for rent.
Two small free parking lots are close by.
This beach is situated around the coastline from Plage des Graniers, and sits close to the main road of Route des Salins, so access from St-Tropez town is fairly easy.
This sandy beach is home to a sailing school plus several other marine and yachting services. The sheltered bay means that the sea is often calm here and good for paddling. It's considered as the local's favourite, thanks to its easy access and shaded areas offered by the pine trees that line the back of the sand area. There are showers, toilets and a lifeguard on duty during the summer period.
This beach was made famous by the French television series "Sous le Soleil".
Plage de la Ponche and its neighbour Plage de la Fontanette are two lovely beaches which you can access directly from the heart of the village.
Pointless taking a swimsuit, these small beaches are not visited by swimmers but mainly by readers and photographers. The bay sits close to yacht entry to the port so you certainly don't want to be swimming out too far, best to stick to paddling and cooling your feet down on a hot day.
It's also the starting point for hiking the coastal path, the Sentier Littoral.
