Beach Cafés
There are beaches you plan around, and beaches you simply fall into. Cavalière is the second kind: a wide, generous crescent of golden sand curving along the coast east of Le Lavandou, catching the morning light and backed by pines. It's roomy enough that even August never quite feels crowded.
What to expect
Family-friendly sand, clear shallow water, paddleboarding, and a row of beach cafés with terrace seating for a long lunch with your feet almost in the sea.
Practical information
Getting there: about 45 minutes from the villa; Cavalière lies about 5 km east of Le Lavandou on the D559 coastal road.
Parking: a paid public car park on Avenue du Cap Nègre (around 200 spaces); street parking fills quickly in summer.
Facilities: seasonal lifeguards, showers, restrooms, several beach cafés, deckchair and parasol rental.
Best time: mornings in summer; shoulder season for the quietest sand.
