Plage de Portissol
BeachPhotospot
Directions

Finding a proper sandy beach on this part of the coast is rare. Finding one that’s clean, accessible, and well-equipped is even rarer.

Plage de Portissol, in Sanary-sur-Mer, is one of the most sought-after beaches in the area thanks to its fine sand, excellent water quality, and sheltered bay. The setting is compact but scenic, with clear water that’s ideal for swimming.

The beach is fully equipped, with lifeguards, facilities, nearby restaurants, and dedicated accessibility features, including adapted paths, water access chairs, and trained staff during the season. It’s one of the few beaches designed to be inclusive without compromising on the experience.

In summer, you can also explore a marked underwater trail, adding a more interactive way to discover the marine environment.

👉 Local Tip: Arrive early in the morning in summer. It’s one of the most popular beaches in the area, and it fills up quickly.
