The legendary beach of Pampelonne and its various resorts: the jewel of Saint-Tropez

Pampelonne is one of Saint-Tropez's most famous beaches. Its almost five-kilometre stretch of fine sand is the perfect blend of nature and top-of-the-range establishments. 

From the 1950s onwards, Pampelonne Beach became a meeting place for jet-setters worldwide, attracting numerous film stars. Its popularity took off in 1956 after the film ‘Et Dieu crea la femme’ was released. The lead actress - Brigitte Bardot - made a major contribution to the fame of this now legendary beach. A true international icon, she moved to Saint-Tropez and gave the peninsula its image as a seductive and glamorous destination.

Pampelonne Beach continues symbolising elegance, prestige, and luxury with renowned establishments such as Club 55 and Nikki Beach. The latter are famous for their exceptional quality and impeccable service. 

Comfortable sun loungers, top-of-the-range services, massages... Everything is in place for visitors to make the most of this idyllic setting. 

Several restaurants are on the beach, where you can sample local specialities such as sea bass carpaccio ‘tonnato’ style with crispy Pantelleria capers and sip a ‘Bardot’ or a ‘Sud Solaire’ with your feet in the water.

In addition to fine dining and tasty cocktails, Pampelonne Beach offers a variety of water sports, fun beach sports, and boat trips.
