Plage du Canadel, Mediterranean beach in Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, France
Plage du Canadel is a sandy beach located along the Gulf of Saint-Tropez coast, featuring clean waters suitable for swimming. Coastal pathways run alongside the shore, allowing visitors to walk and explore the surrounding landscape easily.
The beach was a key landing site for Allied troops during World War II's Operation Dragoon in 1944. This invasion played a crucial role in liberating southern France from occupation.
The beach serves as a gathering point where locals and visitors experience the rhythm of summer through local celebrations and community events. The surrounding area maintains the character of an authentic French coastal village, where traditional ways of life remain visible in daily routines.
Sun loungers and umbrellas are available to rent on the beach for comfortable relaxation. Nearby restaurants and cafes serve regional dishes and refreshments throughout the day.
Nearby sits the Jardin des Méditerranées, a botanical garden showcasing plants from Mediterranean climates around the world. This garden offers a rare collection that complements a beach visit with natural learning.
