Pramousquier Beach: a wild, unspoilt gem on the French Riviera
Nestled between Le Lavandou and Cavalaire-sur-Mer, backed by Cap Nègre, Pramousquier Beach charms visitors with its fine sand, crystal-clear waters and unspoilt atmosphere. Loved for its peaceful feel and untouched nature, it’s ideal for swimming, snorkelling and laid-back beach days as a couple or with the family. Easy to reach, this iconic beach in the Var offers an authentic setting, far from the bustle of the big seaside resorts.
Pramousquier Beach
Clear water, a quieter vibe, and the scent of pines and sea air: Pramousquier is a great choice for a simple, relaxed beach day on the Var coast, just a short distance from Camp du Domaine.
A discreet beach on the Var’s French Riviera
Pramousquier lies at the eastern end of Le Lavandou, very close to Bormes-les-Mimosas. The pace feels calmer here: the sea is often gentle, the morning light is beautiful, and the scent of pine and salty sea air sets the scene immediately.
The shoreline mixes sand and pebbles, which helps keep the water so clear. The rockier edges are perfect for spotting marine life without swimming far out.
