Description of the attraction
Surrounded by huge granite boulders and emerald waters, the dazzling white sandy beach of Source d'Argens is the setting for numerous films about tropical paradise.

However, the views of the crystal clear turquoise waters and sparkling sand are truly breathtaking. In the clear, shallow water, it is easy to spot fish swimming around the reef and see a sea turtle crawling ashore. The shallow depth does not allow for a full swim, but this is a good place for snorkeling.
For complete relaxation, several mobile shops offer cool drinks, coconuts and fresh fruit. If there are too many people on the beach, it is recommended to walk past the boulders to the south along the coast or in shallow water, there is a larger bay, divided into small areas by stones.
