A major beach not to be missed, it unfurls its large lawns on which to fill up on vitamin D.
The area dedicated to supervised swimming is gently sloping. It’s very popular with children, and you’ll be happy to accompany them as they explore the floating water park. At last, soothing water from the highest peaks of the Mercantour will bring you all the freshness you’ve been dreaming of.
Nathalie’s tip: don’t jump off the rocky bars and bridges. The danger is real, because the funds are not very substantial! Avoid jumping off rocky bars and bridges, which can be very dangerous as the bottom is not that deep.
New: With the soft link from the village of Saint-André-les-Alpes, access the beach in complete safety and discover an interpretation trail.
At the foot of the pretty little village of Saint-Julien-du-Verdon, the Touron bay is the ideal place to stop off at the water’s edge. The trees along the beach provide the shade you need for a refreshing siesta lulled by the lapping water. The immensity of the lake unfolds before your eyes. A great invitation to swim, unless you prefer to hire a boat or canoe to explore the wild shores and stop off at some of the more exotic coves.

Part of the lake is a military zone. This naval base carries out sonar and acoustic tests. It is forbidden to enter this area by swimming or using watercraft.

Its wide, landscaped, supervised beach offers an idyllic setting for waterside get-togethers.

We encourage you to take a pedal boat, canoe or paddle to discover and tour the small island just a stone’s throw away…it’s magical!
