Les Graniers
Les Graniers is a five-minute walk from the village. It is a public beach with a simple bar and no minimum spend. Local families, local fishermen, local teenagers. Nobody is performing for anyone.
The water is clean and the setting is genuinely beautiful — a small cove with the village visible above. The bar serves cold drinks at normal prices. Bring a book and your own towel.
This is what St-Tropez was before the beach clubs arrived. It is still here.
The crowd that uses St-Tropez rather than visiting it. Rare and worth the detour.
Five minutes from the port on foot. No car, no taxi, no parking arithmetic.
A cold drink at a reasonable price. No minimum spend, no reservation required.
A sheltered cove with calm, clear water. Better for swimming than open Pampelonne.
Bring everything you need. This is not a full-service beach club.
The best time is a Tuesday morning before the cruise boats arrive in the port.
Goes with the market at Place des Lices — Tuesday morning market, then walk to Les Graniers for a swim.
