From its crystalline waters to its royal fort, Sainte-Marguerite is an unmissable stopover on the French Riviera. You can easily spend a day there to discover all its charms, but half a day can be enough for those who wish to enjoy both islands in one day.
Its crystalline waters
Sainte-Marguerite, the larger of the two islands, can be discovered in a few hours. Bordered by crystalline waters, this island, bordered by creeks of fine pebbles and flat rocks, is an exceptional bathing place on the French Riviera, very popular with summer visitors. In the south of the island, the beaches along the Maison Forestière are the most authentic and offer the most beautiful view of the Esterel, but they are victims of their success in the middle of summer. Further east, the Carbonel Creeks are more exclusive, and you can laze there without the crowds of summer visitors. Favour the months of June and September to discover the assets of this wild setting fully.
