Round the headland from St. Tropez, this is a long beach, split into different sections, some chic and expensive, some belonging to beach front hotels, some naturist and others for bucket and spade families or other regular folks. The water is clear and the snorkeling is good, if not thrilling.
Paraga beach is the first in the chain of southern beaches which is tolerant to nude sunbathing and supports the needs of the young and fashionable. One of the island’s smallest beaches, it is a combination of two sandy beaches separated by a headland. Although organised, it has a new-age feel about it, with fine sand and huge rocks juxtaposed with blue water. The beach can be reached by bus or by a 15 minute walk from Platis Gialos.
