The beach La Ponche
A wonderful authentic treasure, the beach Ponche is simply exceptional with its natural pace that gives this beautiful image of a haven of peace which is one of a kind. "It makes us dream in its juice" exclaims most divers who do not restrain themselves from singing his praises.
The Ponche beach is located about ten meters from the Old Port of Saint-Tropez. Just by crossing the narrow streets of the citadel that lead to the sea, a wave of emotion and iodine scent reaches us to the depths of our soul ... We feel good, we really feel on holidays ...
The beach is beautiful all year round. For those who wish to be away from the crowds, you should know that it remains exceptional off-season. This little corner of the sea, which is well located behind the port of Saint-Tropez offers water and lights with magical air.
Ponche especially won its reputation thanks to the release of the film "And God created the woman" with Brigitte Bardot who made her beautiful glamorous parade on the white sand of the beach. The latter also advances this quiet and charming side appreciated by the intimist visitors who wish to stay away from the "bling bling" that dominates elsewhere.
It is always pleasant to discover this delightful beach of Saint-Tropez outside the summer periods. Just close to the square you will find houses with pastel color offering this enchanting charm combined with that of the sun, the sea and the rocks.
Because it is located right in the city center, the Ponche beach is among other things a good escape opportunity to benefit from swimming pools when you feel like sunbathing.
On the spot, you can swim on the dedicated deck for this purpose. Ideally, you should come there at noon, where there is almost no traffic. Indeed, the inhabitants who live near the beach are all early risers, in order to avoid some "traffic jams", it is better to pop over later!
There are also cozy corners for you to relax and appreciate moments of relaxation after your efforts at the sea. However, Ponche beach offers enough space to take advantage of a picnic with family, friends or your loved one. The most romantic will certainly adore a stroll in the sand while contemplating the setting sun at the sound of the waves … It is just so magical!
