Plage d'Arène Grosse

Plage d'Arène Grosse is a sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast in Saint-Raphaël, situated next to Port de Boulouris. It features fine sand and clear water where visitors can swim and relax.

The beach developed alongside Port de Boulouris, which has functioned as a maritime hub since the early 1900s. Over time, the area became recognized as a place for leisure and recreation.

The beach brings together both visitors and locals who come to swim and spend time by the water in a relaxed way. Like other French coastal spots, the atmosphere here reflects a lifestyle centered on enjoying the outdoors and simple pleasures by the sea.

The beach has showers, toilets, and several restaurants nearby, plus free parking spots by the shore. The best time for swimming is during the warmer months when the water is inviting.

A coastal path connects this beach directly to the nearby Tortue beach, allowing visitors to explore different coves and marine environments. This walk offers varying views of the Mediterranean coastline.
