Gardanne's cave beach, Cave beach in Théoule-sur-Mer, France.

The beach extends 100 meters along the Mediterranean coast, featuring brown sand, fine gravel, and natural rock formations against clear water.

Pirates utilized this cave as a strategic hideout during their maritime expeditions along the French Riviera in earlier centuries.

Local children maintain a tradition of diving from the surrounding cliffs, reaching heights between 12 to 15 meters above the water.

Visitors need to walk 400 meters from the parking area with a 75-meter elevation change to reach this free-access beach.

The cave's interior structure changed naturally over time, transforming from a dry, pebble-filled space to its current water-filled state.
