St. Tropez beach in France is mainly a public beach though there is a small area you can rent sunbeds. I’d recommend going early to get a parking space. Sunbathing, champagne and the fight for a spot in the sun always make for interesting and sometimes outrageous situations, even after the sun goes down and the music crescendos. St. Tropez’s reputation was secured as the place to sunbathe, swim, mingle and while away the summer. St. Tropez’s hottest spots during the summer season.
This beach area is free of crowds except at peak time of summer vacation. If you visit this beach you must walk along the Dune du Pyla, which lies between the ocean and the largest forest in France, Les Landes. If you brought your yacht, as many of the celebrities do, don’t limit yourself to the crowded beaches in the south of France, near the cities of the rivera, cruise up the coast and find a less crowded beach. The long sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast are sunny and sandy, and extensive - so you can usually escape the crowds with little effort. The resorts tend to be very pleasant - clean, lively, and full of the feel-good factor.
