Beaches
( Do not miss ) St-Tropez owes much of its attraction to its gorgeous sandy beaches, for it was here that girls first dared to bathe topless in the 1960s. In total, there are over 6km of enticing golden sand situated on the Baie de Pampelonne, neatly divided into invididual beaches, each with a different character. In summer there's a frequent minibus to the bay from place des Lices. Les Graniers is the most crowded beach and within easy walking distance of the village; trendy Club 55 caters for the Paris set; Tahiti Plage was once the movie stars' favourite (the original beach bar was constructed from an old film set), but nowadays star-spotters have more luck at the frivolous Voile Rouge. For privacy and seclusion, Plage de la Briande is considered by many to be the best beach in the region, situated halfway along the 19km coastal path that rounds the St-Tropez peninsula.
