Plage de Rènecros, Sandy beach in Bandol, France.
Plage de Rènecros is a sandy beach in Bandol that stretches between two breakwaters with white sand that slopes gradually into the sea. The wide shore provides plenty of room for swimming and sunbathing, with facilities available to visitors.
This beach became a destination during the Belle Epoque when visitors came seeking rest and cure in its calm waters. The belief in the therapeutic power of Mediterranean bathing attracted health seekers from across Europe to this shore.
The beachfront restaurants here reflect local food customs and the relaxed seaside lifestyle of the region. You will notice locals gathering for meals that highlight fresh catches and regional ingredients throughout the day.
The beach has lifeguards on duty, free shower facilities, and accessible paths for wheelchairs during summer months. Arriving early in the day is sensible to find a comfortable spot, and the sun here can be quite strong.
Maritime pine trees grow at both ends of the beach, creating natural shaded zones where visitors can escape the heat. These trees have been part of the landscape and offer a cool retreat during the warmest hours of the day.
