Plage Bonneveine, or Bonneveine Beach, is a stretch of beach extending for 500 meters and offering soft, fine, white sand with warm waters and tons of family-friendly fun. It's bordered by attractions like volleyball courts, skate parks and green space, so there's plenty of room to run and play or lay out and catch some rays.
The beach is a popular family destination and often hosts live entertainment in the evenings. The sand is ideal for sculpting, and you'll regularly see sandcastles dotting the shoreline, waiting for the tide to come in and wipe the slate clean once more.
