The Pradon beach to take a nap in the sun and swim
The Pradon beach is simply the largest natural beach in Carqueiranne. If you have followed the news, you may know that it was temporarily closed in 2022 due to oil leaks. Fortunately, this problem has since been resolved, and you can swim there all year round as long as the weather is good.
It is also one of the few beaches in the area where swimming is supervised, so take advantage of it! Since this beach is sheltered from all winds, you can rest there without fear of sand gusts.
