The beach is calm and significantly less crowded than some of its neighbors, such as the famous Paloma Beach or Cros Dei Pin Beach.
Snorkeling at Fossettes Beach: Dive into rich and preserved underwater landscapes
The natural aspect of Fossettes Beach extends to its seabed. Thanks to the clarity of the water and the absence of disturbances, this spot is ideal for snorkeling. To the left of the beach, the rocky coastline of Cap’s point reveals underwater areas teeming with biodiversity. Equipped with a mask and snorkel, you can explore the beauty of these underwater landscapes in complete tranquility.
Fossettes Beach: A nice snack spot to relax

Here, amid the pines, you can enjoy the beautiful terrace of La Pointe du Cap, a small snack bar offering a stunning view of the sea.
