Plage de la République
This large, public sand beach, just east of the port and capitainerie (harbor master), is close to a restaurant where you can rent a lounger. Arrive early in the summer to claim your spot close to the sea. Note: you'll readily be able to discern the tourists from the locals, who tend to be attired in bottoms-only beach wear. Amenities: lifeguards; parking (fee); showers; toilets. Best for: sunrise; swimming.
