Saint-Tropez Travel Forum

Hi-
I was wondering how the beaches are in St. tropez? Most of the pictures i see are people on boats. Are the beaches nice; is the water beautiful?
Thanks :)

Stars sit on boats because there is less risk of physical contact with ordinary people and it forces the paparazzi to buy very very long focal length lenses.

The beaches are so so - St Tropez is for people watching not sun bathing.Its the people who are beautiful, not the sea. Go to the beach clubs where the beautiful people gather - to watch each other.

But I hope you have a good credit card and know how to use it.

Hi,
The beaches of St Tropez are mostly away from the center, and require transportation.
A few beaches are located nearby to the west of the town, within reasonable walking distance. East of the town, the Plage des Graniers is in a little cove past the cemetery, a long walk or a short drive away. Further east, out the route des Salins, is the Plage des Cannebiers.
Cape Beaches. Out on the cape east of St Tropez are the beaches Plage de la Moutte and Plage des Salins.
Pampelonne-Ramatuelle Beaches.The most serious collection of beaches are along the Baie de Pampelonne, south of St Tropez and east of Ramatuelle. You'll need to drive out the D93 road from 3 to 6 km, then turn off to the left on one of the beach access roads.
