SPOT
La Bergerie beach facing Porquerolles
A superb beach and an ideal spot for water sports
At the end of the peninsula on the east side, Bergerie Beach opens onto the Bay of Hyères and the islands of Port Cros and Porquerolles. We love this long beach with its shallow waters and the good conditions for water sports. The body of water is flat by mistral, with waves by south-east. The rocky end of the peninsula is accessible by stand-up-paddle or beach-kayak.
