Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage de la Darse (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 la Darse (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 la Darse 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.

Ah, the beautiful quiet beach. How original. I mean, sure, it's a nice place to relax and soak up some sun, but let's not act like it's the only beach in the world that fits that description. And let's be real, quiet is a relative term. If you're looking for complete solitude, good luck finding it here. There will always be some tourist with a boombox or a group of kids playing frisbee nearby. But hey, if you're okay with a little bit of noise and want to enjoy some pretty scenery, then this beach might just be your cup of tea.
