Plage de Tahiti, Sandy beach in Saint-Tropez, France
Plage de Tahiti is a sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast at the northern section of Pampelonne. The shore stretches wide between pine forests and the water, with sunbeds, parasols, and several restaurants positioned right along the beach.
The beach gained prominence in 1956 when filmmaker Roger Vadim shot 'And God Created Woman' with Brigitte Bardot at the location. This film transformed the area into a fashionable coastal destination that drew visitors from across Europe.
The beach has been a clothing-optional destination since the 1960s, reflecting a more open approach to the human body in everyday life. Visitors encounter a diverse, international crowd that continues this liberal tradition today.
Access is via an unpaved road, so wearing appropriate footwear is advisable. The water and facilities are easy to reach, though the beach fills up considerably on warm days.
The Tahiti Beach Hotel, founded in 1946, is the oldest beach club on this stretch of coast. It remains today the only establishment offering overnight stays with direct access to the water.
