A typically Ionian, small pebble beach which looks unpromising. But as lunchtime approaches, a tiny beachside taverna opens up serving a menu of locally caught fish and fresh vegetables that changes every day.

Take the coastal path uphill from the village with fine views of the bay to your left. When the path runs out you'll find a track down to the beach.

A 3km-long stretch of fine white sandy beach approached through protected sand dunes and pine trees. Wonderful swimming and fishing. Strong tides.

South west coast of Cap Fréhel via D34a, close to the scallop fishing town of Erquy.
30 km west of Dinard.

A gently sloping sandy beach south of the hill village of Bormes-les-Mimosas, surrounded by vineyards and overlooking the French presidential summer residence, Fort de Brégançon. Great for families.

South of the hill village of Bormes-les-Mimosas, off the N98 between Hyeres and Le Lavandou.
