We had the chance to capture some stunning photos on a gorgeous, pristine beach with golden, fine sand. The sea was crystal clear, like glass, and we absolutely loved it.

Bandol beach is a great spot, with a clean and pleasant atmosphere. The attendance in the morning is exceptional and it's worth noting that the sand is golden and very fine. As the day goes on, it does tend to get a bit more crowded, but that's to be expected.
