Plage de la Darse, Pebble beach at Port de la Darse, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France
The beach stretches along a sheltered cove with clear Mediterranean waters, flanked by stone walls of the old port and natural rock formations.
The beach sits adjacent to Port de la Darse, a 16th-century harbor that served as a crucial naval facility for maintaining and repairing military vessels.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at the neighboring port, adding to the authentic Mediterranean coastal experience of this natural beach.
Visitors can access the beach via the Professors' Promenade footpath, with the nearest parking facilities located in central Villefranche-sur-Mer.
The gradual entry into crystalline waters reveals schools of small silver fish swimming near the gravelly seafloor, making it excellent for snorkeling.
