Plage du Vieux Moulin, Sandy beach in Grimaud, France
Plage du Vieux Moulin is a beach combining sandy and pebbly sections along the coast near Grimaud, backed by dense pine forests that provide natural shade. The shoreline faces the Mediterranean with views toward the water and surrounding woodland.
The name comes from an old mill that once stood in this area, marking the region's agricultural heritage. The beach developed as a swimming spot along the same coastline where this mill once operated.
The beach maintains designated areas for naturist activities, reflecting the French Riviera's long-standing acceptance of nude sunbathing traditions.
The beach is easiest to reach by bicycle since no parking exists nearby. Visitors should plan their arrival around this transportation method or find alternative ways to get there.
A small freshwater stream flows across the beach and empties into the sea, creating two different swimming zones in one place. This mixing of saltwater and freshwater environments makes the location distinct from typical Mediterranean beaches.
