Coastal Path
Locals call it la perle, the pearl, and one look at the water explains why. Saint-Clair is the kind of beach that earns its nickname quietly: fine sand sloping into shallow turquoise, a fringe of parasol pines for shade, and just enough café life to keep a long day comfortable. It's the easy, do-nothing beach day at its best.
What to expect
A broad, family-friendly stretch with calm, clear water, room to spread out, and a coastal path that lets you walk in from Le Lavandou. Paddleboards and deckchairs are there if you want them.
Practical information
Getting there: about 45 minutes from the villa. Saint-Clair sits roughly 1.5 km east of Le Lavandou centre, reachable on foot via the coastal path or by car.
Parking: free at the chapel lot (about 600 m from the beach); paid spaces closer to the shore.
Facilities: lifeguards in season, toilets, showers, snack bars, deckchair rental. Well-suited to families.
Best time: mornings and shoulder season for space and the softest light.
Mauricette's Tip
Walk in along the coastal path from Le Lavandou rather than fighting for parking, and make a day of it with a seafood lunch on the port.
