A beach with a beautiful view in Sanary-sur-mer

If you are looking for a feast for the eyes, opt for the beaches of La Gorguette and Roc Amour!

The beach of La Gorguette offers a nice view of the bay of Bandol and the island of Bendor. It has been classified as “good quality” since 2020 and has a swimming lifeguard during the summer season. It is easy to access with parking spaces nearby.

The cove of Roc Amour, very close to the beach of Beaucours, is a beach with little attendance because it is difficult to access: access is via a steep path on the side of the cliff. Here you have a breathtaking view of the Pointe de la Cride!
