Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage de Maupas (Maritime Alps) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage de Maupas (Maritime Alps) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage de Maupas for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

A stunning petite beach that exudes unparalleled beauty. This hidden gem is effortlessly reachable from the Le Trayas train station, making it a convenient destination for beachgoers. Surprisingly, even during the busiest summer months, the beach remains delightfully uncrowded, allowing visitors to soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere undisturbed.

The path leading to the beach may be a bit perplexing at first, but once you arrive, the stunning scenery will take your breath away. While some visitors may choose to indulge in nude snorkeling or enjoy a drink on the rocks, there are still plenty of serene spots to relax and soak up the beauty of your surroundings. Despite the limited resting areas, the incredible views make the journey well worth it.

The southern coast of France is renowned for its beaches, but for an unparalleled experience, steer clear of the heavily-touristed areas and venture to the untamed coves along the coast between Saint Raphael and Cannes. This particular beach is a personal favorite. Arrive early enough, and you'll find a free parking lot or plenty of street parking. The descent to the beach may prove challenging for some, but taking your time will make it manageable. Once you reach the bottom, you'll be greeted by a stunning pebble beach with crystalline turquoise waters and striking red cliffs. It's wise to bring water shoes to protect your feet from the pebbles, but more importantly, pack your snorkeling gear to explore the waters. As it's a wild beach, amenities are scarce, except for a snack boat that stops by a few times a day to sell sandwiches, drinks, and ice cream. If nature calls, the sea or bushes are your only options. Despite the increasing number of visitors throughout the day, the beach never felt too crowded since people were leaving at a similar rate. I highly recommend giving this beach a try, especially during the pandemic, as there's always enough room to social distance.
