Azur Plénitude - November 2024

La plage du Midi est une belle plage de sable fin offrant de nombreuses installations comme un terrain de beach-volley, des douches, des toilettes, des snacks et plus encore. Sa proximité avec le centre-ville en fait un lieu accessible, et ses eaux peu profondes permettent une baignade sécurisée sous l'œil des sauveteurs. L'endroit est idéal pour les familles et les jeunes qui pourront profiter des plateformes flottantes et de l'aire de musculation sur la zone piétonne située au-dessus de la plage. Très fréquentée en été, elle n’est pas propice à la tranquillité, et trouver une place de stationnement peut être difficile.
