Plage du Baie du Gaou, Mediterranean beach in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France
The fine sandy beach stretches along a spacious bay between Plage de la Favière and Pointe de l'Esquillette, featuring both open shores and small coves.
The beach lies near ancient Roman settlements, with archaeological findings indicating maritime activities dating back to the classical period along this coastline.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices by launching their boats from designated areas of the beach, supplying fresh catches to nearby restaurants.
Visitors need to walk along a coastal path from Plage de la Favière to reach this beach, as no direct road access exists to the shore.
The southern section contains natural rock formations creating secluded pools that fill with clear Mediterranean water during high tide.
