Water Activities and Swimming

Swimming and water activities are a must for a successful vacation on the Côte Bleue! Here, the sun shines, cicadas sing, and the beautiful Mediterranean beckons.

The Best Beaches for Family Swimming
Here’s our top 3 beaches near the campsite:

Ensues la Redonne Beach: A small beach worth the effort… The setting is paradise, and swimming here feels intimate, far from the crowds. It takes some effort to reach, though! The village is closed to cars in the summer, so you’ll need to arrive on foot or by train, with the station nearby. We recommend taking the train—the beauty of the journey will only add to the magic of your day!

Sainte-Croix Beaches: Two beaches in one. Comfort lovers will be in heaven here! Easy access and fine sand make for a relaxing time. Set down your things and enjoy a swim in beautifully blue water!

Verdon Beach: The largest sandy beach on the coast and also the most popular. This beach is perfect for fans of sand sports (racket games, beach volleyball, beach soccer…) as well as little ones who can spend the day building sandcastles!

Scuba Diving: A Must on the Blue Coast
From La Couronne, Sausset-les-Pins, or Carry-le-Rouet, treat yourself to an unforgettable day at sea! Beginners can enjoy introductory dives, while those with experience can book courses or simply rent gear.
