Plage des salins, Mediterranean beach in Saint-Tropez, France.
Plage des Salins is a Mediterranean beach in Saint-Tropez featuring a coastline of roughly 600 meters made up of sand and shell fragments. Tall pine trees line the shore, and a small creek flows into the sea at the beach.
The beach developed in the 19th century as a bathing spot for the Saint-Tropez community. A monument at the northern end marks the resting place of a notable figure from that era.
The beach attracts local residents who value quieter areas away from crowded tourist spots. Visitors can observe daily seaside life here without being overwhelmed by large crowds.
The beach provides two free parking areas and offers showers along with lifeguard coverage from June through September. Visitors should note that these services are not available outside the summer season.
A beachfront restaurant offers two separate dining spaces with different menus at one location. The upper level focuses on seafood dishes while the ground level serves lighter fare such as salads and pasta.
