Notre-Dame Beach, Mediterranean beach in Porquerolles, France.
Notre-Dame Beach extends along 800 meters of coastline with fine sand, bordered by pine forests and oak trees on Porquerolles Island.
The beach gained international recognition in 2015 when a European tourism organization designated it as the finest beach destination in Europe.
Local inhabitants maintain a strong connection to maritime traditions through regular swimming, water sports activities, and coastal excursions.
Visitors reach the beach by walking 3.5 kilometers from Porquerolles village, with facilities including showers, disabled access, and equipment rentals.
The waters remain shallow for 300 meters from the shore, creating natural swimming pools protected from both Mistral and eastern winds.
