Take a look at France\u2019s most glamorous region\u2019s more \u2018wilder\u2019 side and\u00a03 of the best beaches of St Tropez.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plage des Salins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To the south of the Plage des Canebiers, a beach famous for being overlooked by the villa owned by Bridget Bardot, is the Plage des Salins. This picturesque and refreshingly tranquil beach that is bounded by a forest of pine and bamboo trees is a fantastic spot to lay your towel on the fine, pale pink sand and enjoy its surprisingly peaceful setting.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to keep a look out for a sculpture of Bridget Bardot as the Little Mermaid here, as it was after all the legendary French actress who, almost single-handedly, glamorised St. Tropez.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Ponche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hiding at the head of the old fishing quarter of La Ponche, between the fascinating Portalet Tower and the Tour Vielle, lie the small, gravel beaches of La Ponche.<\/p>\n<p>These delightful and interesting beaches are almost literally a \u2018stone\u2019s throw\u2019 from the quirky boutiques and bars of La Ponche, providing visitors with the perfect break from a busy day\u2019s sunbathing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plages des Graniers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not far from the beaches of La Ponche, after about a 20-minute walk, Plages des Graniers can be stumbled upon. And if you do stumble upon the Plages des Graniers you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>This 40 metre long, pebbly beach is surrounded by natural rock and, in holding on to an authentic character, has remained pleasantly unspoiled by the effects of mass tourism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A touch on the wild side \u2013 The three \u2018wildest\u2019 beaches of St Tropez.
