Overview

Sausset-les-Pins — Corniche beach, Côte Bleue. 600 m long between the Menhir and the Dalle. A lesser-known surf spot but highly valued by those in the know. Waves often of good quality, breaking on a reef covered with large pebbles — fairly hollow waves. Both novices and experienced surfers can enjoy it. Accessible by the Côte Bleue TER regional train that runs along the coast with stunning views.
