Plage de Saint-Aygulf, Mediterranean beach in Saint-Aygulf, France.
Plage de Saint-Aygulf is a sandy Mediterranean beach stretching about 800 meters along the Côte d'Azur between Les Issambres and Fréjus. The shoreline faces open water with clear views across the sea toward distant horizons.
The area grew into a tourist spot in the 1930s when artists and travelers first noticed the natural appeal of this Mediterranean shore. The early visitors helped establish it as a popular seaside destination.
The beach divides into different sections designed for families, surfers, and those playing traditional games like pétanque on the sand. This layout shows how local visitors blend various activities across the shoreline.
Lifeguards keep watch during summer months while facilities such as showers, toilets, and parking are within easy walking distance. Pay attention to water conditions and wind, as they affect swimming safety throughout the day.
The eastern end borders the François Léotard nature area where pink flamingos and water birds inhabit the Villepey ponds just steps away. This proximity to wildlife adds an unexpected dimension to the typical beach visit.
