Roquebrune-sur-Argens offers a classic South of France beach holiday with a unique twist. While the historic medieval village sits inland at the foot of its famous rock, its seaside resort, Les Issambres, stretches for eight kilometers along the Mediterranean coast. This coastal stretch is a charming mix of fine sandy beaches perfect for families and the wild, rocky coves known as 'calanques' that define the region's stunning shoreline. This variety provides a quieter, more preserved atmosphere compared to the larger neighboring resorts.
The coastline presents a beach for every taste, from bustling hubs to secluded escapes. For a classic and convenient beach day, Beach de San Peire is the main town beach, while Beach de la Gaillarde is one of the most popular spots for a lively Côte d'Azur experience. Nearby, the famous Beach de la Nartelle in Sainte-Maxime draws visitors with its vibrant beach clubs. For a more dramatic landscape, the stunning red rocks of Calanque des Anglais offer a memorable scenic getaway. Many also make the worthwhile day trip to the iconic coves of Plage de l'Escalet on the Saint-Tropez peninsula.
Beyond the well-known names, the true charm of Les Issambres lies in discovering its many hidden corners. The coastal path reveals a series of smaller, more intimate coves like the sheltered Calanque de Bonne Eau. These quieter spots offer a peaceful retreat from the summer crowds. With so many options ranging from wide sandy shores to secluded rocky inlets, our comprehensive beach guide can help you find the perfect spot for your visit.
