Plage de Boulouris, Mediterranean beach in Saint-Raphaël, France.
Plage de Boulouris stretches roughly 500 meters along the coast, combining pebbles and fine sand framed by red rocks of the Estérel massif. Natural stone formations line the waterfront, creating the beach's distinctive character and sheltered sections.
The beach developed as a leisure destination during the rise of Riviera tourism in the early 20th century. The area became known for its natural landscape, which drew visitors seeking coastal relaxation.
Artists in the region frequently paint and photograph the contrast between red rocks, blue water, and sandy shore. This scenery has long attracted creators looking to capture the coastal landscape.
The beach can be reached through roadside parking or via an underground passage from Quarry Road when waterfront spots are full. Arriving early, especially during peak season, helps secure good access to the sand and water.
A smaller hidden cove sits tucked between rocks to the left of the main strand, offering a quieter retreat from the busier areas. Most visitors miss this secluded spot, even though it lies just a short walk away.
