Plage de la Ponche, Sandy beach in Saint-Tropez, France.
The beach features grainy sand and stretches between the Portalet tower and Tour Vieille, near traditional fishermen houses in Saint-Tropez's oldest district.
This beach holds significance as a former fishermen's gathering point, where local maritime workers would prepare their boats and nets each morning.
The beach gained recognition in 1956 as a filming location for Roger Vadim's motion picture 'And God Created Woman' with Brigitte Bardot.
The beach provides free public access throughout the year and maintains a swimming prohibition near the yacht entry point to the port.
The beach connects directly to the Sentier Littoral coastal path, offering visitors immediate access to extended shoreline walking routes.
