Le Beausset is a charming inland Provençal village that serves as a perfect base for a coastal holiday. While not directly on the sea, it offers a peaceful retreat just a short drive from the bustling seaside towns of Bandol, Sanary-sur-Mer, and Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer. This location allows you to enjoy authentic village life while having easy access to a variety of Mediterranean beaches, though a car is essential for exploring the coastline.
The nearby coast presents a wonderful mix of beach styles to suit any preference. You can find everything from wide, sandy shores perfect for lounging to intimate pebble coves with clear water. For the ultimate family-friendly day, the vast, sandy Plage des Lecques is a top choice with its shallow waters. In Bandol, the beautiful and sheltered cove of Plage de Renécros provides a classic town beach experience. For a truly spectacular adventure, the iconic Calanque d'En-vau is a breathtaking natural wonder that is well worth the trip.
Beyond the most famous spots, the region is full of charming alternatives. Beach Portissol is a favorite among locals in Sanary-sur-Mer for a quality day by the sea. If you're seeking a more tranquil setting, the pebbly shores of Beach de la Madrague offer a quieter escape. These highlights are just a starting point, as our complete guide details many other coves and beaches waiting to be discovered along this stunning stretch of the French Riviera.
