Calanque de Maubois, Red pebble beach in Saint-Raphaël, France.
The Maubois cove features clear waters stretching along 150 meters of coastline, framed by the distinctive red cliffs of the Esterel mountains.
The volcanic formations defining this cove emerged during the Permian period of the Paleozoic era, over 250 million years ago.
The red cliffs of Maubois cove stand as a significant geological landmark of the French Riviera, studied extensively by earth scientists.
Access to the beach requires descending narrow, steep stairs, and the small parking area accommodates only ten vehicles.
A rocky islet rises from the center of the bay, providing a natural observation point for Mediterranean marine life.
