Plage de Porto-Novo, France - Beach Guide, Info, Photos

Plage de Porto-Novo is a secluded beach known for its clear water and fine sand. The beach is surrounded by rocky coasts on both sides, adding to its natural beauty. Despite its beauty, the beach is not overcrowded, even during the highest season. This might be due to the fact that it is a bit difficult to reach by land. It requires a minimum of a 30-minute hike, which can extend to 45 minutes on really hot days.

However, it is perfect for mooring close to the beach. The beach offers good shelter from winds from the southern regions, including the mistral. The beach has a parking lot, which tends to fill up during sunny days.

Despite its natural beauty, the beach might not be the best spot for snorkeling as it can be pretty boring. Also, the presence of boats might sometimes spoil the tranquility of the beach.
