Plage des Cigales

Plage des Cigales is a sandy beach along the Mediterranean coast near Port Grimaud, featuring a small lighthouse and a footbridge. The shore is divided into distinct swimming sections and bordered by both sand and grassy areas.

The beach developed alongside Port Grimaud during the 1960s expansion of the French Riviera's coastal infrastructure. This period shaped the area's modern waterfront character.

The beach takes its name from the cicadas that inhabit the local coastal vegetation. Its name reflects the close connection to the Mediterranean ecosystem.

The beach is regularly cleaned and features marked swimming areas during the bathing season. Access is straightforward, and visitors can choose between grassy and sandy sections depending on their preference.

The beach features a private port and a footbridge that connects distinct bathing areas in an unusual way. This combination of public beach and private marina creates a rare hybrid setup.
