Plage de Portissol, Sandy beach in Sanary-sur-Mer, France.
The curved shoreline features a mix of golden sand and small pebbles stretching along clear Mediterranean waters of the Portissol Bay.
The beach gained recognition in the 1950s when it became a preferred location for early Mediterranean scuba diving pioneers and underwater photographers.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices by launching their boats from designated areas of the beach to catch fish in the adjacent waters.
The beach provides complete facilities including showers, restrooms, lifeguard stations, and dedicated spaces for people with reduced mobility requirements.
Strong Mistral winds regularly create specific wave patterns at this location, making it a natural destination for water sports enthusiasts.
