La Glaye Beach

La Glaye beach, a secret cove of Saint-Tropez

More discreet than La Ponche, La Glaye beach is wedged between the ramparts of old Saint-Tropez. It keeps an intimate, almost secret atmosphere, far from the fashionable beaches. The Saint-Tropez audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this little corner of tranquillity, nestled as close as possible to the port and the historic district.

A beach between the ramparts

La Glaye beach is a small sandy beach nestled between the ramparts of old Saint-Tropez, very close to the port and at the foot of the Tour du Portalet. More secret than its neighbours, it keeps an intimate and preserved atmosphere. A path over the water lets you fully enjoy it, offering a rare view of the village and the sea.

What to see

The beach offers an intimate setting between the ramparts, a path over the water and fine views of the village and the sea. A stone's throw from the port, it nonetheless remains away from the bustle. It is a peaceful and authentic stop, ideal for a quiet break, in one of the best-preserved corners of Saint-Tropez.
