The beaches of Embiez Island

The island of Les Embiez is an unspoilt natural paradise.
Here, you won't find any deckchair rentals on our beaches, just wild beaches and coves in every corner of the island, hidden away in the rocks or the pine forest. Our beaches are mainly made up of sand and gravel, which drain the water from the sea and give it a magnificent translucent appearance. A paradise for swimming, relaxing or snorkeling.


. Plage des salins

The only sandy beach on the island, the water is crystal-clear and shallow. The local nautical center offers kayak, paddle and pedal-boat rentals for fun on the water, and inflatable hammocks for lounging on the sand.


. Petit Rouveau and Saint Pierre beaches

Accessible via a steep, well-hidden path, they are less frequented.


. Plage de la Gabrielle

. Plage des allemands

A multitude of consecutive beaches and coves, with crystal-clear waters.


. La croisette beach

Tiny little beach nestling in the rocks, accessible only by sea, by boat or kayak for example.


. Plage du Rix

Good walking shoes are essential, as the access slope is steep. This cove is particularly popular with kayakers and boaters, who come here for a relaxing break. Protected by rock, the water is crystal-clear.


. Coucoussa Beaches

Perfectly sheltered in case of mistral (north wind). They're not the easiest to get to, nor the most difficult, so be sure to wear shoes that will hold your feet.


. Canoubie beaches
